November 9, 2026 (1 Trade) (+$77.50)
Overall Grade: B+
Day Summary: The bulls were bulling today and thankfully I played with them. Although I did take my set up today, my entry and trade management due to being fearful made me grade this trade a B+ instead of somewhere in the A's. Ultimately, I traded with the trend and that saved me, but my entry was risky and I also traded 2 MES which I shouldn't be doing currently unless it is an A quality set up and I am in the proper mindset to put on risk.

TRADES
Trade 1 - Long 2 MES @ 21 EMA Trap + Trend Continuation + FOMO Entry + Closed Early
Grade: B+
- Playbook set up - yes
- trading with the trend - yes - good thing
- FOMO Entry - due to emotions - skewing my R on this trade
- buying low at least - based on prior consolidation
- I did do a good job of holding this trade almost all the way to target (7535.75), but I was nervous the whole time I was in this trade
- thought this was going to be a trade that went immediately to stoploss for a second
- should have been eyeing the order flow on the tape when we tested the 21 EMA at 7524.25
- I did close a few points early but based on my emotional state during this trade, it was probably the right decision to take my almost 8 points on this trade
- considering my mental state today, I am overall happy with this trade but there is definitely room for improvement
