It was a good day to be a good trader, the market gave plenty of good opportunities ... Too bad I am only an Ok Trader just yet.

I finished green and for that I am grateful

My day result is



My Total is almost back to my High Water Mark but no quite there yet ... $4K is going to be an important Milestone



I was 'almost' certain that CL was about to take a good leg up, and got in with 5 contracts, since it took longer than expected and got close to my Stop Loss several times I decided to lower my Targets ...



The same story with ZB, I was expecting a down movement but both times it bounced back, so I decided to take a small loss

I have a few 'PMs' (private messages) about my charts ...

This is the best way I can describe it:

I use several indicators in order to create a Chart.

The Renko bars are from BPT, as well as some other indicators on the chart
The Entry Signal is from Bloodhound/Sharkindicators
The Volume Zones indicator is from GoldenZoneTrading
and Also some Indicators from Futures IO, from the great Fat Tails and Others

For CL, GC and ZB the Renko Setting is 3/1 for NQ is 6/2

The Entry Signal is Created by the Confluence of Indicators in 3 Time Frames

The System works great ... The Pilot is the Challenged One

Hope it Helps

Good Opportunities ...

Bad Trades ... Bad Management ... Bad Results ... Only Because I respected my Rules ... Todays Loss = Max Loss

So my Results:



The first few Trades in NQ were good trades and profitable



Then lost the mojo and bad trades to give back some of my winnings



The 30 year was helping today, and was profitable



My system was working good on GC, but lost my Compass for a while and took big hits

Today is the Month that According to my Plan I will pass my Combine ...

The last week I was able to Trade from my office and with discipline we are making progress.

The following is the Result of my Trading Day ...



ZB was strong and gave clear signals but I was very hesitant to trade it because of the levels above, it was the best possibility



Crude Oil was also clear it took some time to work but it was a good trade



Again Gold was the one to Trade

Today is a day that will test our commitment to get funded ...

Several technical mistakes and the lack of discipline to review my checklist ...

Yesterday I made some routine adjustments to my system and today I took some trades on the wrong instrument and it was not on my screen.

So to make a long and sad story short ... I had to reset my Account ... So we are back to square 1 ...

I will pass the combine and will journal my journey ...
