Another unusual and challenging trading day, coming just before I left for France. The market conditions were far from ideal, but despite the chop and volatility, my strategy held up reasonably well. It wasn’t one of its strongest performances, but it remained resilient enough to keep me in the game. Sometimes that’s all you can ask for on difficult days—trust the process, manage the risk, and move on to the next session.

With my trip coming up, Thursday’s session was a challenging one. The market never felt particularly clean, and I had to work through a couple of losses before finally catching the move that made the day.
The first trade came around 9:25–9:30 AM and was stopped out for a loss of approximately 80 points. The second setup wasn’t any better, resulting in another loss of about 92 points. At that point, I was beginning to question whether the market was going to offer any quality opportunities.
Fortunately, the third trade was exactly what I had been waiting for. The setup met all of my criteria, and this time the market followed through. Both contracts reached their targets, producing a gain of roughly 212 points.
After the first two losses, it was satisfying to stay disciplined and continue following the system instead of forcing trades or giving up for the day. In the end, I still finished with a small profit. It wasn’t a spectacular session, but green is green, and preserving discipline on difficult trading days is just as important as capitalizing on the easy ones.
With my vacation starting, ending the week in the green—even by a modest amount—felt like a good way to step away from the markets.
