August 24 - Summary
What I did:
3 Trades
L 5775, target 1 @ 5795, target 2 @ 5805 = +50
S 5825, stop @ 5833.50 = -8.5
S 5825, stop @ 5829 = -4
Standings:
* P/L = 50:12.5
* W/L = 1:2
* biggest loss = 8.5pt
* max number of successive losses = 2
What I should have done:
I did exactly what I said to do, so I followed my plan, waited for a setup to occur and then acted on it as planned. Although the result of the day is positive, I feel it more than anything to be luck because the first trade turned out well in a volatile moment.
Things to think about:
- The third trade was a bit of a waste. Consider not entering just because of one bar. Wait for a second bar, so you don't get spiked out or in a trade that catches you going in the wrong direction. Applying this on today's trades, that would mean no second trade and one less losing trade.
