A challenging start to the day again and I want to talk about one trade that I did that changed the day. I was nearing my daily loss limit of -100 for one contract and I had crossed it with my fifth trade but this trade was controversial because I could have skipped it. If the CMI is heading up and I have been stop lossed out already it’s okay to skip the trade. Today was kind of trash and you’ll see the chart.

First trade came early and it was a loss of -5 for each contract.
The second trade again was stopped out for -23.75 for each contract.
Then fourth trade again was a false break out and trapped me for a loss of -46.26 for each contract.
The fourth trade was trying to go down but hit my stoploss again for -20.25 for each contract.
The fifth was where I was hitting my limit and I could have perhaps skipped this trade and I think given the context I will next time because the CMI was heading up while price was heading down. This could have stopped me from entering and therefore not end my day because the next trade would have worked out and saved my day.
This was unfortunately a losing day but I have to install these days to avoid blow out days.
