Put a break even stop on ZN.
Sold mini Russel with weekly high as my mental stop .
Edit: Stopped out of ZN long overnight . Will try to enter again if I get a chance today.

Kind sir, bro....
If you don't mind me asking what percentage of your Risk budget is at state on this trade?
Risk on is the only way to generate revenue.

Currently under full risk...generally, risk tolerance is 10 points on TF...I can give it sometime as I entered based on weekly chart, today, I expected a slam down like NQ did yesterday but now I have to manage it.

After seeing CL hit my target and giving me multiple re-entry points (not this single time almost every freaking time) it's all about just
TRUSTING YOURSELF and HAVING PATIENCE
both will happen if you have correct account size, specially, if you are doing swing trading futures.

Now feels better will I be able to hold to my target of 135 on IWM? On the other to hedge my position I caught up in yesterday's ramp and bought an ES long so kind of struck in that but I am sure I will navigate out of it.
