I got out BE. no good day.
I should have listened to myself this morning, when I had a doubt (in whatever)
my psychological and physical state : I'm feeling very well, but I have a doubt, I don't know what it is
my goal for the day : that I try to achieve: I want to wait for clear situations, and finding good stop positions

Performance: losses over losses
lots of bad luck today, I missed one good run which could have made my day, then only loosers and BEs
But thats how trading works, you cannot win every day.
For next week: I should listen to myself, when in doubt, either trade only 1 contract (half position) or dont trade at all
have a great weekend everybody

maximum risk (*) : per trade $300, max $800 for the day
my psychological and physical state : very tiered, exausting weekend, today small position size
my goal for the day : today only watching the market, if situation and condition is clear and better I can enter a trade only in trend direction
(*) I had to adjust this, to fit my contract size, but its still about 1% risk
