This marks my first full week following the plan. It’s been challenging trying to trade while traveling, and the market has been choppy lately, which has been frustrating. Today was especially erratic and lacked clear direction.

The first trade came early in the morning and was a win. The first contract hit the target for +30.25, and I let the runner continue until it crossed the red line, closing at +21.25.
The second trade was more difficult and gave an early sign that it might be a rough day. Price moved past the green line but quickly reversed, resulting in a loss of -23 on each contract.
The same pattern repeated on the third trade, which ended at -28.50 per contract.
The fourth trade followed a similar outcome, with a loss of -34 per contract. At this point, the morning had clearly turned rough and discouraging. The Nasdaq-100 Index is currently at all-time highs, which may be contributing to the choppy behavior.
The fifth trade came at 10:40 AM and was another loss. Price failed to continue downward despite the momentum setup, resulting in -19 per contract.
I waited for one final opportunity. The sixth trade came at 12:15 PM and was a long, but the market remained slow and never reached the target. I closed both contracts at +13.25 each.
Overall, today ended as another losing day, which is tough. I haven’t traded much this month, and I have hit every losing day. It’s frustrating, and I need a couple of solid days to turn things around.
Total Profit: $-261.44
