February 10, 2026 (1 Trade) (+$73.75)
Overall Grade: A
Day Summary: Today I trusted the premarket chart and was looking to play a range trade. I stalked the trade perfectly, using NAS to help me time the SMT entry. Nas had swept the PM lows but ES did not, so when we got to the topside of the range, I was looking for ES to sweep the highs. I almost jumped in early, but was waiting for NAS to confirm it would also get to the top of it's range, and then when it did, I shorted into the pop and major green on the DOM. At first i was a little nervouse because I was fighting strong price action, but a range fakeout set up is actually one set up where I want to be fading the breakout/breakdown, so in this scenario, it was okay. I also was using 1 MES so it was small size which allowed me to comfortably hold even though I was trading against price action. I also did a good job of holding my winner almost fully to target, although I did take it off about a point early. It would have hit target but then bounced back to my entry, so I'm glad I got out where I did and I got the meat of the move.

TRADES
Trade 1 - Short 1 MES @ Range Fakeout + Trusting the Chart + Held Winner
- nailed the entry (SMT + orderflow)
- trading against price action but that is just what it is when going for a RFO
- trusted the chart - PM range
- target was 6987.50 which did hit but I got what I was looking for and it did bounce back up to my entry just a few mins later, although sold off again later in the morning but had i held I prob would have stopped out BE and been super frustrated
