        • Week­ly Goal
          • Size up and only take A+ (TTF TC) and A (TTF NT) setups to build a track record to ana­lyze lat­er but be open to exper­i­ment with TTF R setups
            • I did well exper­i­ment­ing although there were 2 setups I could have tak­en but only took 1 but didn’t have a chance to size up on my A/A+ setups since there wasn’t any.

        ---TTF R D TC (NOT TAKEN)----Did­n’t take it because 200MA was right under it so sec­ond-guessed myselfI’ll write it up in my PB but not gonna stress too much about not tak­ing this trade

        • If I’m com­plete­ly hon­est I could have tak­en 2 exper­i­men­tal setups but missed one. Even though it would have not been a sol­id trade it was tech­ni­cal­ly my exper­i­men­tal setup.
        • The trade I did take didn’t move as fast as I had liked. There was no momen­tum left to push the move. As soon as I scratched price dropped 20 ticks. Keep lis­ten­ing to that voice. It knows when some­thing is up.
        • How accu­rate was my assess­ment of mar­ket context?
          • Hypo 2 — 50% 
            • We BO was before EU ses­sion start­ed and the ses­sion spend time in CAS mode
        • How well did I man­age my phys­i­cal, emo­tion­al and cog­ni­tive states?
          • I was feel­ing tired and not as sharp but did well today to stay out of trouble.
        • What’s one thing you learned today?
          • That I under­stand how my mul­ti­ple time frame analy­sis works with­in the bounds of my per­spec­tive on tech­ni­cal analysis
        • What’s one thing I need to do more often?
          • Stay patient
        • What’s one thing I need to do less often?
          • Sec­ond-guess myself
