Not a great first day...

But I made a tiny bit of moolah. Overall I hit the markets pretty well and I think took some good trades. Problem was that most of my wins were either in the NQ or the wins I did have in the ES were TINY compared with the loss I took in the ES. But overall, I played the positions as they were supposed to be, held for my targets, and even though I paid up a tick 3 times today to get an exit we got out with 90% of the move we had bargained for. As Awais would say - "Don't be a dick for a tick!".

Anyhow, here are some of the trades. The one loss i was p'eeved about in the ES was on a pattern that, yes, it was valid, but at the same time those bars that reverse hard like that from essentially the top of the swing are rarely good entries. I knew this... I didn't want to take the position... but this week is all about taking the trades and letting the outcome speak for itself.



Overall... 5 wins, 2 losses, and marginal profit - BUT I did turn a profit today and i'll take it.

Trade Results:

ES: -25.00
NQ: +55.00
