March 9, 2026 (1 Trade) (+$68.75)
Overall Grade: A-
Day Summary: Today was my second day back to trading since getting back from Puerto Rico with José Miguel, but the first day of a new week and the first day I felt rested and comfortable to trade, even though I was trading from the kitchen today. Not to mention also, oil prices going crazy overnight due to the Iran war, we had some crazy volatility today. Despite that, I was able to execute my set up with 1 MES and make a quick 13.75pts in about 3 minutes. I did not hold completely to my TP, although it was close and I gave it a chance, so that is a good habit, and something I've significantly improved on from 2023 and 2024 Nate. I wrapped it up early today to take José to the airport, but that worked out well for me because there is nothing better than the old One and Done.

TRADES
Trade 1 - Short 1 MES @ 21 EMA Trap + Bull Trap + Closed Early
Grade: A-
- playbook set up - yes
- bull trap on entry (price action) - good
- trading in overall direction of price action - good
- however, we had been trending up overnight, and ranging since 5am and I was conscious of that, which is another reason I didn't want to hold onto this trade too long
- Target was VWAP but I moved my target up to 6648.50 and it missed by just a tick and then popped back up so I decided to close it as I was pretty happy with 13 points in minutes
- looking back, I could have held to VWAP and it would have been a banger, but the pullback right after I exited would have been painful to hold through
