Today was a very active day ... Good Results but the feeling is that I could of made so much more ...
But Discipline is to Do what you must when you must ... My Rule is to Trade Between 7:35 and 10:00 am ET .. So when the time arrived I stopped ...
In my Journey to get funded we have made good progress ... and I have found that to track your progress es very importat, below are my results thus far:
Today was a good day, and I have found the instruments, the time frame and the systems that best fits my personality ... After a lot of soul searching I am happy with myy Complete Trading System, Rules and Plans ... Below is the table that shows today net results:
Only will show you one Trade ...
So I will keep on walking in my Journey to get Funded ... Will keep you posted ...
Today was Friday, and I am always worried about Trading on Fridays ... I start the Trading Day Thinking that if I mess up the day and lose money my weekend will be ruined ... My Worst Day so far was last Friday ...
I am very happy to report that keeping the thought on my mind :
Capital Preservation before Profits ...
I was very careful in my Trading ... Disciplined to take ONLY the Setups according to my Plan.
Below is Today's Results
My Main Instrument Today was GC again ... It gave Clear Signals to Entry and Exit ... Because I was using tight stops we made several Trades:
This Gold Trade was a one that met all my Entry and Exit Requirements
NQ also gave clear signals but there was a broken correlation with the Cash Market, so also was using a very tight management of my Trades .... Little Green
The best thing about this Friday, is my Equity Curve on my Combine ... After almost 3 weeks, I am meeting my plan:
Almost half way there ... Little progress and a LOT of Discipline ...
Thanks for reading ... Happy to answer any questions ... I usually only write on my Journal once a day so please be patient.
Hey buddy I think you're doing great!...but if you want an honest opinion (just my uneducated opinion)....I think you are way overtrading. 9 trades! Huh??!!! You have the skills to let it flow...throttle back a little and gain more confidence, stay in your trades longer and focus more.
Today I am traveling, and many moving parts around me before trading time ...
So I wrestled with the idea of not Trading today, but instead decided to practice disciplined trading while traveling.
Over the weekend I loaded my indicators on my laptop and made sure everything was ready ...
So, this morning with extreme carefulness I took a gold Trade good for $320 then a trade on CL that took a long time to work, so closed it at only $7 loss ... I decided to call it for the day ...
The following is the result of the Day:
My Gold Trade was based on my system for entry and also for exit ... very quick
So my Journey towards my Combine has reached the halfpoint, it looks that I will be away from home and my main computer for the rest of the week, but I will keep my pledge to keep on journaling my trip to a Funded Account
It was a day filled with News, so I decided to take the first trade after 10:00 am, Took several Gold Trades and a CL Trade ...
Not very Consistent, but happy because we finished on the Green Side.
I am still on the road, so trading with the tiny monitor of my Laptop is much harder that with my Complete 4 Monitor Station Back Home ... But Feeling good with the result
Then a couple of good Trades ... Only the Last Trade exited too early ... But I have to remind myself that it is ok because this is my Trading Style ... Scalping short winning trades ... Keeping losses as small as possible ...
Hi @dralion, glad to see you are doing good on your combine!
I have a question and it troubled me for a long time... I would have a big winning day followed by an even bigger losing day. And I see the similar problem on your daily P/L chart too. Could you, or anybody who's reading this post, share some experiences on how to adjust oneself in order to avoid losing big after winning big?
