TRADES

Trade 1 - Long 1 Put @ FOMO

Grade: D-

  • only took this trade out of FOMO from not executing on a short from the opening range
  • trading my emotions, not the chart
  • I kenw this was a bad trade the moment I entered it
  • didn't even know where I was gonna stop out - so dangerous in this market
  • The reason I gave this trade a D- and not an F was because I actually stopped out pretty quick to manage risk

 

Trade 2 - Long 1 Put @ Fomo + Revenge Trading

Grade: D-

  • got very lucky on this trade
  • not only was this FOMO but also revenge trading from Trade 1
  • held though stop and got lucky to make a small profit on this trade - bad habit
  • honestly I should have just stopped trading after this, even though my final two trades of the day were much better

 

Trade 3 - Long 1 Put @ 21 EMA Reject + Trend Continuation

Grade: B

  • this was a good scalp
  • trading with the trend - good
  • trading a paybooked set up - good
  • trading sentiment - good
  • took profits too early, even when I was confident this trade was going lower, mainly because of Trades 1 & 2

 

Trade 4 - Long 1 Put @ Intuition + Bull Trap + Trend Continuation (sentiment based) 

Grade: B+

  • Although this trade was a loss, it was a great loss
  • read the market well, good entry
  • held for continuation of the winner based on red bearish candle close - good even though this trade was a loser
  • this could have been the trade of the week that would have made up for all my managed losses and some - perfectly content with holding this winner
  • just unfortunate this stopped me out two minutes before the high
  • market trended heavily down after this - but it's ok, I know I was on the right side of the market and that is just trading
  • after this trade, i knew i was emotional (rightfully so) and made the smart decision to shut the charts and walk - proud of that!
