  • How accu­rate was my assess­ment of mar­ket context?
    • Hypo 2 — 90%
      • Set tar­get to go to 58.10 but went 58.30, not too big of a deal since I nailed the nar­ra­tive but still
    • Real-time analy­sis — 100%
      • Did well here.
  • How well did I man­age my phys­i­cal, emo­tion­al and cog­ni­tive states?
    • P: Did well here. Even though I slept slight­ly less than usu­al and felt grog­gy in the morn­ing I had decid­ed to only trade half size. 
    • E: Did well here. 
    • CS: Did well here. Stayed calm and collected.
  • What’s one thing you learned today?
    • To trust my trade ideas. 
  • Positive(s)
    • Did well to rec­og­nize and trade the narrative
    • Did real­ly well on my first trade but feel as if I should have stayed in the trade longer but I took my first tar­get and looked for anoth­er entry. 
  • Negative(s)
    • 1 trade I took out of FOMO and did not enter at a good R/R lev­el. I know that if I would have I would not have spent as much men­tal cap­i­tal to wait for the mar­ket to go in my favor. The best entries are those that bring you to breakeven quick­ly and then some and you can sit calm­ly to wait for the move to play out.
