A Great Day for the Strategy

What a great start to the week! I had a feeling the market might move higher, but I certainly didn’t expect it to go that far. Then again, that’s not my job. My goal isn’t to predict where the market will go. It’s simply to show up, follow my strategy, and execute the trades.

November is shaping up to be a strong month, at least so far. I know difficult days and losing weeks are inevitable, but that’s exactly why consistency matters. The winning days need to outweigh the losing ones.

The Power of the Runner

My first trade came at 8:35 AM, and the market never looked back. The first contract hit its 49-point target, while the runner continued climbing until around 12:15–12:20 PM, finishing with an incredible 451 points.

This is exactly why I use runners. You never know when a trend will develop into something extraordinary, and staying in the trade allows you to capture those moves.

The second opportunity came at 12:45 PM, producing another 29 points on the first contract and 5 points on the runner.

There was one final potential trade, but I decided to skip it. Price had suddenly jumped 118 points, and the potential reward was only about 10 points. Given how quickly these moves can reverse, I didn’t believe the risk justified the reward. Still, I need to be careful that these decisions are based on my rules rather than fear.

Staying Disciplined

What makes today especially satisfying is how well I managed my emotions. The end of October was difficult, and I struggled with hesitation and missed opportunities. Now I’m seeing the benefits of staying disciplined and allowing my strategy to work.

I’ve already recovered those losses and moved well beyond them. That doesn’t mean another difficult stretch won’t come. It absolutely will. But building a cushion through consistent execution makes those inevitable setbacks easier to manage.

The Takeaway

Today wasn’t about predicting a massive rally. It was about being present, trusting my strategy, and managing my trades without letting emotions interfere.

The market creates the opportunity. My responsibility is to execute.

Day 107 was another reminder that patience, discipline, and a well-managed runner can make all the difference.
