I somehow managed to have a day with one trade and a 15 tick profit. I held through the news because I felt like I had some breathing room and it worked out for me. A bit of luck, but I'm happy that I was patient on a day that could have really chopped me up.
Worst stop ever. I didn't realize I had my stop put at the 50% retracement of the upmove. I got stopped out and took +6 ticks missing out on an awesome 16+ tick winner. So disappointed.
Also, don't forget to vote for my journal in the journal challenge:
Nonfarms resulted in some great swings. Had a few false starts, but ended with a good profit that takes my account back to its highs. Total Profit: 9 ticks
Don't watch today's video. I do really poorly, and it is embarrassing. I knew what was going on and I still tried fading. I was just not in my right mind. In the future I need to identify this sooner and quit for the day. I also think this and some of my other bad trades are due to permafading so I'll be looking for ways to combat that.
Another tight range day. I still took too many trades, but I learned a lot today about the right spots to enter in ranges. Finally got a good winner at the end. I feel like I made some progress today. Ended the day +1 tick.
