Took 2 small LONG losses at low of channel. After the first loss, I kept my stop too tight on the 2nd entry and was stopped out. 3rd trade was a winner. Down about $130
Looking at entry for leg 2 (usually a measure moved). However, I waited for confirmation on the entry, put a limit order on, but it didn't pull back far enough too fill me before taking off.
Big mess up on connection this morning and I have been on the phone with TopStep Trader. They closed out my orders but they were still showing on my chart. So they had me close NT and reopen. When I closed my connection it showed me still having open orders actually more than I placed. Then when I opened NT again it showed everything closed and my balance at -$50. However, I actually have no idea where I am at and what happened on my trades.
I have to leave to take my niece to school. Will check back with them when I return.
I traded when NOT mentally sharp and mentally prepared. In my opinion, you need to do your morning prep which includes knowing where the market is and what it is doing. Without this you have no plan and just end up gambling. At the very minimum you should have a trading bias and then have ideas in your mind of areas where you want to be looking to enter short and long.
Thanks. I understand. I mean, what do you do when you´ve said: "I did manage to micro scalp my way back"
This sounds interesting, like a "secret weapon" helping you out of a desaster......
