June 25, 2026 (1 Trade) (+$62.50)
Overall Grade: A-
Day Summary: I got back to following my rules today and took a quick one and done trade for 12.5 points. It did proceed to visciously dump another 70 points with almost no pullbacks once I got out, but I got out at my preset TP so I cannot be mad with that. I stuck to my plan and did not close early which is a great habit. I also want to state that I also did not have any FOMO watching it dump those extra 70 points, which is a good mental takeaway of how if you follow your plan and rules, you can be content with what you got and stay level headed. Sure, it's easy to say after "Man, what if I just held" but I stuck to my plan and that is what is important! Great job!
I also walked away at 10:30am today because I had brain fog and knew I wasn't in a good place to take another trade. Good job recognizing that and walking away with a one and done. Self conciousness is important.

TRADES
Trade 1 - Short 1 MES @ 21 EMA Trap + Aggressive Entry + Key Level + Volume Profile
Grade: A-
- playbook set up - yes
- wasn't necessarily following the trend becasue we were ranging premarket
- entry was aggressive, and had I waited I would've gotten a perfect 21 EMA entry, but it was at a key level and I felt comfortable getting in where I did because of the volume profile
- held winner to preset TP - great! (it did bounce a tick from my TP for about 15 seconds or so and that was mentally hard to hold but then it dropped right back through to TP - DOM confirmed to me to just hold it)
Did I follow my rules: Yes - 9/10
