A much easier day overall. The strategy worked well, the setups were clear, and everything played out as expected.
After Monday’s losing session, it was important to come back with a solid win and regain some momentum. Today felt much cleaner and more manageable, which made it easier to stay disciplined and follow the plan.

The first trade came right at 8:30. On the very next bar, price reached the 2 ATR target, but my trailing contract was eventually stopped out for only 5 points.
The second trade came on the next bar and was a winner. The first contract gained 65 points, while the trailing contract was stopped out for 5 points.
The third trade came at 10:25 and was another solid winner. The first contract gained 48 points, and the second contract continued to run for 72 points.
The fourth trade came at 1:20 p.m. Price again reached the 2 ATR level, but both contracts were eventually stopped out for 5 points each.
There was one final valid trade later in the day that I should have taken, but I hesitated and didn’t pull the trigger.
Total Profit: $432.80
