Todays trading...
Positives:
1.Managed risk very effectively
2. Never moved stop further away
3. Head logical in the moment explanations for every trade and live journaled for accountability.

Negatives:
1. Having more structure to what constitutes a trade (such as what does a pullback look like) will help get away from unnecessary trades.
2. May need to eliminate the breakeven stop and just either the trade works or it doesn't
3. A hard cap on the number of trades, I felt mental fatigue around trade 7. Maybe capping the trades at 6 is more productive.

Your results are a bit skewed since commissions are not being factored. Right-click on the account and then click EDIT ACCOUNT. Select the NinjaTrader commission pull-down and then choose FREE, MONTHLY, or LIFETIME. The changes take effect on all trades going forward.

Good journal update!

Just an idea, maybe think of looking at a higher time frame, maybe 3 or 5 minute?
I trade the 5 minute and took 3 trades today. There were many others I missed and did not see, and some I saw and missed.
But hey what do I know, I was in the red today. Just an idea.

Yep After I have my 30 trade set I will evaluate and see if any changes need to be made, But moving up to the 5 Minute is definitely a option
