December 30, 2024 (1 trade) (+$87.50)
Overall Grade: B
Day Summary: Today I started the day by firing off a couple not so good trades on the eval account (a bad habit I've gotten into already with them because it puts me in a FOMO trade mentality) but I was able to pull it together and wait for a decent set up which I did execute well on. I waited to see the market moving towards one of my 4 Targets and then waited to find an entry to get in. I saw a quick Trap entry and decided to get aggressive with the entry and I sniped it. I then proceeded to manage the trade well. let's take a look below.

TRADES
Trade 1 - Long 2 Contracts @ 4 Targets (30 Min) + Trap + Intuition
Grade: B
- Waited for market to start moving to one of 4 Targets - good
- trading with current intraday trend - good
- buying at support - good
- no entry set up - risky / not ideal (but trading in the direction of 4 Targets helps make it less risky)
- managed the trade well
- held winner pretty well, scaled off one and held the remaining contract for a few more points
- target was 5952 and it did eventually get there but I thought for this quality of a trade (B) and the day (and it being a holiday week) I decided to lock in the profits
- overall I was happy with this trade
