Recently quit my job to go all in on trading. Relatively young and no debt so it seems like the best point in life to turn pro as a trader.

Market : ES and MES
Style : Price Action Scalper
Timeframe: 1 Minute & 5 Minute

I do not use indicators just the 30 minute opening range and I build out some range extensions and means off that.

Very simple strategy I look forward to journaling my journey as a ES trader.

Today I finished the day up 10 points total my largest weakness is for sure holding winners! lol I will keep working on it

Trade : -7.5 points
Trade 2: +5 points
Trade 3: +3 points
Trade 4: +4 points
Trade 5: +1 point
Trade 6 : 2 points
Trade 7 : + 2 points
Trade 8 : + 2 points

All in today was a win but I won’t on tilt after the early morning breakout because I didn’t hold so overtraded.
I really need to address this but 1 day at a time.

Grade for the day : C-

Tomorrow I am going to place a trade with a stop and a target and just walk away.
I cannot post my trade images yet

I'm curious about something. Do you have two separate accounts-- a trading account and a saving account? The reason why I asked is that I had both and ended up back at the 9-to-5 when my saving account reached 50% and my trading account had a drawdown of %25 percent. I bailed, because I didn't want to wait for either to drawdown any further.

I have a checking account and two brokerage accounts one with wal mart as its sole holdings and one with Qqq as its only position. I sell covered calls on them both for premium but no I don’t have a safety net kind of a burn the boats approach Lol I hope this helps.

No trades today just chipped in a bear trend which is my worst trading days I hunt bull reversals and go on tilt.

Weekly results: 24.75 ES points
1 contract trading.
