One trade today, stopped @ BE, got distracted this morning and did not have my home work done. Definitely notice I am feeling substantial of FOMO today. After noticing this I decided to stop trading and call it a week.

Stopped on two trades today. Executed well and perfectly followed my plan and today ended up being a statistic of a loosing day with perfect execution. Feels very good to have executed well.

Took two trades today, all three profit targets filled on first and stopped at BE on second. This second trade would have filled all profit targets if I had trailed on PSAR. However, Market was really slow and it came into the noon hour and I was getting anxious to get out of the trade. I did trail my stop according to plan.

Two trades today, full stop on first and 1st TP filled on second then stopped on remaining contracts. I will consider adjusting my stop policy based on the results of the last few trades, however I need a few more trades before I make any changes.

Four trades today, full stop on first and 1st TP filled or nearly filled on and stopped @ BE on remaining contracts. Very slow non directional day. Market possible settling into balance waiting for FED numbers on Wed.

Looks like you are doing pretty well. I have not traded ES much so this has been a very good exercise and my focus has been on executing my plan and controlling risk. Thanks for the comments!

I trade only NQ and Micro ES NQ and RTY sometimes.

My R:R has been fallen since few weeks and gave back good $$. Lost my balance and trying to controll it.

Two trades today, full stop on both.... I followed my plan. However, after a few more trades I will analyze my strategy and make adjustments as are necessary, I need about 10 more trades to have a min of 30 trades to make any changes to the strategy. Market possible settling into balance waiting for FED numbers on Wed and I will be very careful trading tomorrow and it is OK if I do not take any trades.
