Still sick. Feel like garbage. Can barely focus. But I had a good day, still working, might be a late night. I was good in managing my time. Been good and focused lately, improving every day.
I lost 1% today and I’m celebrating. Because it’s one good trade. I have restricted my trading aiming for 1 good trade. I don’t need to stick to that, but I’m keeping this idea in the foreground. Trade very little, work a good hard undistracted day. One good trade a week is easily enough to replace my salary. Didn’t need to take the actual dollar loss on this one, I should have hit it, but looked great and I’m very happy with how I managed it in.
I saw this one nice and early, and I just waited for the setup to form over the morning.
I set an alarm for tick, and when it went off, I entered really hard, 45 contracts.
I saw the indicators all form the trade up, and entered an additional 15 contracts.
The trade went, and I was up a half % unrealized PnL. Unfortunately this one did go against me, I let it go to b/e and go the other way a point. I should have cut the profit off, and then closed it around $0. I was managing the trade on my phone tho and so it’s easy to get lazy. In an out was only 15 minutes or so.
That’s all we have to do tho, just show up, take the one good swing. Doesn’t take time, effort, or focus. I understand how to read the market. I have the play in my playbook. I have to select the right play for the landscape, and that’s it. This didn’t work out, but I only need to hit about 1 in 10 of these to break even. The win-rate is 60 or 70%.
