Hi Traders,

I was trying to add my introduction link, however I need 5 posts to do that. This is my 2nd post
Will add it here, but as a hint it's on pg 757 of the intro posts.

To some it up, I realize the trading journal challenge started from the beginning of July, however I am starting mine now. That's just how the timing worked out. If it can help someone out, that's fantastic. I am confident that it will help ME out which is why I am doing it. That said, feel free to question, comment, ask, etc etc.

My initial focus is on one high probability strategy / set-up (I'll add another or 2 soon). Basically it is a Ema retrace / bounce in a trending market which has a ~3x higher time-frame in sync with it. I will focus on CL, however I have the ES + NQ on the sidelines in case CL is choppy. I usually try to get up at 4am to look at the London market for a few quick trades, however most of the trading will be from 8am to 11am Monday - Friday.

More into my specific rules, trading plan and posts starting beginning of the week,

Cheers

Monday's suck. At least the last 2 Mondays.

Here is my first entry. Red day but basically followed my rules so all good. Any comments welcomed.

Target is 150-200$/d trading 1 contract.

So many distractions outside of trading and vacation starting now.
Am refining my journal and will re-launch soon, hopefully for August start

Cheers
