I believe it's going to be a great day of trading.

Already took 2 trades a little while ago. First one was a stop out but it was a legitimate trade with good reasoning it just didn't go my way. It's trades like that one can easily knock you off your game and start a downward spiral. Stop, be patient and wait for your next set up and then jump on it. Exactly what I did. Next trade showed up, I jumped in long and rode it all the way to Friday's high where I had set a target to close the trade. Made up all of the losses from the first trade and then some.

I will cover it in detail in today's video. I am thinking about just doing a recap video this time to cover my trade from Friday and then today's trades. I think it may be better that way because I can think about everything I want to say. It should make for a shorter video as well.

Now, back to trading. Hope everyone is ready for another day of craziness.

Ive been doing videos for years.Its interesting to hear the thoughts while the trade is developing, no doubt.And i would look back sometimes and be like "what am i thinking?"But, they make for long videos.I have found, that doing End of day recaps can keep the videos to under 15 minutes, which is nice because you can review multiple videos each night, and on the weekends, i watch the whole week in about an hour...Just some thoughts

I may try recapping anything outside of the US session and then recording the US session as it happens. Kind of a blended video.

Well, I sucked at finding and entering trades today. LOL! Still a profitable day but man I missed every golden opportunity there was today. Why? No valid reason other than not focused on trading. The only two trades I took were the ones mentioned in a previous post. Not one trade during US session.

+122.68 today. Puts us at +71.7% since the start last week. Really not bad for just 4 days of trading. I have to work on my focus if I am going to really get this going. So close to bumping up to 2 contracts. When I do, my focus has to be 150% spot on otherwise I will have to drop back down to 1 contract.

Anyway, video is uploading to YouTube right now. It will take them a bit to fully process it. Once done I will post a link here. The original file was corrupted when OBS studio went to save it so I just did a quick recap video. That's what I get for using free software. LOL!
