You are so correct. I spent yesterday afternoon and early evening reflecting and then discussed what happened with my wife to get her honest input as to why I did what I did. She knows me well. As a result, I have taken several steps today to help before I started trading.
I have switched to Sim because of missing the next 2 trades and have to leave in a few minutes to take my daughter to school. Her ride cancelled at the last minute and she missed the bus. Also, it is NFP Friday and I anticipate a slow afternoon but I will check the market when I get back.
Passed on 2 trades because of uncertainty then took a LONG with 3 contracts for +10 ticks each at the 2nd ES SHORT failure point on a limit order fill with a strong bull candle.
On 2nd ES LONG failure I waited for price to retrace instead of using Sell Stop Limit. Price hit my order but didn't fill and when that bar closed I cancelled the order.
I messed up on this one. I entered on a 2nd ES SHORT FAILURE but by accident I entered with 4 contracts when I meant to select 2. As soon as I noticed that, I immediately moved my target to +6 to exit the trade. Overall, a good 1st day for the Combine.
