Sabrina... I am trying for the $100K so based on the TST Rules Max Daily Loss is $2k and Max Drawdown is $3K ...

So with that my Personal Rule is a Max Daily Loss of $600 ...

It is incredible how easy is to explain the importance of Daily Max Loss but by far the hardest to respect.

In the TST Page there is a great slogan:

CAPITAL PRESERVATION COMES BEFORE PROFIT

Today was not a good day because I broke my MAJOR rule of stop trading if Daily Loss hits $600 ...

After $595 tried a couple of aggresive trades and even though they worked, got close of big trouble.

One of the reasons is that GC was acting different I think was because of Yellens Speech ...

But I got to fight one more day in my journey of getting funded...

My first loss at $255 for the day ...

Today was a different Kind of Trading Day ... Good Results but felt Frustrated because I had a Clear Sense of the Market but took only small part of the moves.

I guess the most important part is the result.

Today we are in the green with $610

You will find my trades below:

My daily Journal has helped during my trading, since I am commited to post my results daily in my journey to become TST Funded.

Today I was happy with my Discipline ... Entries only based on my Indicators and Rules and Exits at the sign of Trouble.

Once you see my charts it will be evident that I should of stayed longer in most of my trades, but at the end I am working to make steady progress, many base hits few strikeouts and few homeruns.

At the end of the day I was able to pull $710 from the Market.

Bellow you will find my trades.

The last few days Journaling my Journey to Become Funded had been very Enjoyable ...

But Friday oh Friday ...

I broke most of my Own Rules and the Result was painful:



Too Many Trades and lost Money on all my 4 Instruments



I over traded and got Close to Big Trouble

As most days the Market presented various Trading Opportunities but we were not able to Benefit from them.

Rocky Day, started green then RED then little Green and Finished with a very acceptable loss ...

I have been working very hard on my:

Daily Ritual (before Trade)
My Trade Ritual

Have my Trade Plan and Rules in front of me in a very clear way ... And trying to stay focused and disciplined ...

Getting Better ...

Today finished at MINUS $170 ...

The following are my Trades ...

The Instrument that made the most Money was Gold ... I started with Caution and Took some small Scalps that made little Money .... Then It gave me Great Signals and I was able to take it and leave a Very Nice Runner until the End ... After the Big move I tried it again with small Scalps that worked





The Big Loser was the 30 year Bond ... The system gave me a very very Clear Signal ... I took the first one in the opposite direction for a Small Loss ... Then I went against my indicators trying to guess ... and to make matters worse to it with too big of size ... Got Hit ... Then I got many easy entries that I didn't take because I was still Hurting from the Loss (Stupid)



The a quick Scalp on Gold based on very Clear Signal ... Winner



Then got good signals on NQ but too close to support so I was very hesitant ... Also a Money Looser Today ...




I will be ready tomorrow to Trade and keep my Focus and Discipline ...
