Kept debating and finally convinced myself to not do it at least right now. I took a whopping +5 ticks today. Lots of good opportunities but lots of distractions right now as well.

What is everyone's opinion on automating strategies? Maybe not necessarily fully automated but at least the entries. I think if you can nail down the rules to rigid values it would be worth it. I am seriously considering automating my entries this ...

Bad case of the chicken trader today. No trades. Watched several set ups, just couldn't pull the trigger. Oh well.

Today started out crappy.... turned sh**ty, then a cesspool, then I fell in with my mouth open..... LOL! No not really that bad. -30 on the day. Oh well, if they were all winners anyone could do it.

Don't let it get you down. Take a deep breath and then go back and figure out what went wrong. Internalize it, then come back stronger. Remember what got you to the funded account in the first place. Not a super productive day for me either..... +9 ...

My biggest mistake on days like today is telling myself "It can't go any higher". LOL! NQ just responds back by saying "Hold my beer!"

Jumped on a nice trade after that initial drop and took +26 ticks. Totally ticked that I didn't take the next set up. Oh well, no time machines here so I just have to embrace the suck. LOL! image

+18 today on one trade. I got distracted when my eye caught what I thought was a great way to trade. Went down that rabbit hole and missed some good opportunities. Oh well. I am happy. Green is green

Took +59 ticks so far. market was rough to start out. Getting smoother. Maybe I can catch a trend this afternoon. Will post details in my journal. I did live stream for a while but found it to be too distracting. I don't think I will do it again.

Only took a single trade today. The market volatility was just insane. MNQ has done 1.1 million contracts today. Unreal. Simple trade, normal entry of waiting for the pullback then a down candle followed by an up candle. Jumped out with 11 ticks ...

It's crazy today. I have only taken one trade so far for +11 everything else required too big of a stop.

9847.25 is today's first limit down value during US session. Not thinking that it will get there but considering the drop pre-market who knows? Could be interesting, trade safe.

Varies depending on the market. Usually set to 3-4 ticks above the previous swing high but I rarely let it go that far. Caught a nice move on the 1 min chart for 402 ticks to more than make up for the crappy trading this morning. image

Super sloppy for me today. Gave back the gains from last week and then some. Stopped for now, may try some this afternoon.

Fridays are usually the worst for me as far as results go. I decided to just scalp a little today to try and break my freaky Friday's curse. Took 4 trades for a total of 86 ticks on a single micro contract. Trade 1: The four moving averages you see ...

scalped today. Fridays and my trading typically will battle each other so I decided today I would scalp some just to make some ticks. Finished out +86 ticks trading just 1 micro. Not a major return but the consistency is there. Traded on the 20 ...
