It was a break even kind of day. I had trades I held onto for too long. Had one trade that made up for my losses toward the end of the day. Hope everyone had a great day!

Had a awesome day, no winners, maybe I will find my big winner tomorrow. Had 26 trades mostly in the MCL, then when the action faded around 2pm I drifted to the MES. I followed my plan for the most part but let some trades get away from me by not exiting early enough. I try to keep my stop losses around 10 ticks. I am continuing to buy weakness and sell strength which is my favorite way to approach the market.

12 round turns, 11 in the MES and 1 in the ES. I traded the ES by accident, when I opened my platform the ES popped up and I entered the trade on the ES. No big winners.

Hey everybody,
Its been a crazy week. I escaped Hurricane Ian last week and went to the East coast for a couple of days. Came back home and luckily I got power back the night I got back. Still no internet but everyone in my household is safe. Currently trading on my phone.
A little bit about my strategy: for entries, buying lows and selling highs. Using a mental stop of 3 to 10 ticks. Holding onto my winners until the end of the day. Trading mostly MCL with some MES and M6E. I will post results at the end of day.
