June 8, 2026 (3 Trades) (+$13.75)

Overall Grade: B

Day Summary: I can't believe I'm fucking green today lol. After a 13 trade loosing streak I was finally able to take a green trade and finish the day green (started the day with two losers). It has been an insane struggle recently (was literally 0-11 on trades I took last week) and it has really affected my mental, but there have been some good trades that were mixed into that streak that would be green 8-10 points and then reverse on me and stop me out. Extremely frustrating but I was right on the overall direction on most of those trades, which is a good thing because I am seeing the bigger picture correctly. I have also been mostly taking short trades in a very bullish market, so no wonder all of my winners have been reversing on me. Again today I took 3 shorts. I need to remember to pay attention to overall direction and take that into consideration when taking trades on the STFs.
