Day 2 of testing out new risk management system - Very good so far. Over 2 days of data, win rate is 62.5% with a RRR of 1.72 which is awesome. I know its only 2 days of data but its a start. This is leak that I am really happy I am plugging and now when I am in a trade I feel much more confident with what I am doing. I know exactly where to protect my downside and where I want to take profits. Really excited for the next few months. Today was a red day but a single digit red day. That is good enough for me. When you have a system in place, you can trade without emotions taking over.

OCT has been a really bad month for me. A couple of big red days that could have been avoided. It has forced me back into the lab and trying to fix leaks in my system. I have found a huge leak in my risk management and I am going to focus on keeping my risk in control. I am looking forward to the rest of the year to plug my leaks and move closer to profitbility.

Man what a day. Red day. I had the right idea for CBAT to play the bounce at a key level. I was just 1 dip too early. I didn't follow my stop and then as punishment, the market decides to bottom tick when I stop out only to work out exactly how I wanted the trade to work. So frustrating. Looking back from where I started in March this year, there is a huge improvement in my trading. I am still learning and understand there are going to be setbacks along the way. I am still having trouble with my risk management. I need to cut my losses better. I tend to hold a bit too long which is what kills me.

Going into Friday green for the week. Small green but green is green man. I wish I would have cut my 300 loser much quicker because it ate into my profits for the week. Oh well.. We can only learn and get better at it from here. If I finish this week green, it would be my 2nd green week in the last 5 years. Unbelievable man. Just have to stay leveled and keep my eye on the target. Have to take it one trade at a time now.

Breakeven day today. Down $20. Was down close to 60. I ended up getting green on the day with my 3rd trade on CGIX but gave some back on BQRS. All good. It would have been a nice day for me if I didn't trade PM twice. I waited for a good setup after the opening bell and got a really good trade on CGIX. I feel like Mondays are for getting your mind right about patience. Then the rest of the week you know what you are looking for. I am going to start looking at executions before market open so I know what I want to see.

I am starting to see why less is more. I sometimes make a good day's profit and want to walk away after that or just wait till PH if something sets up. Rules are so important in this game. Its when you break your rules, you pay the price. Also, keeping a level head and not getting lost in the sauce when you are having a good green streak. Too much sauce will get you lost and will lose to avoidable losses. This is a grind. I am not looking to make tons of money this first year. My goal for this year is to continue to see consistency in myself as a trader, not just financially but mentally/emotionally. I am starting to realize that a lot of the problems we have are our own kinks we need to work out. It is only then you will start to see a difference in your trading. This is for me so everyone is different. Let's finish this month off strong. Since by big loss for this month, I have made back almost $100. The amount is not the big deal but the grind. All I need to do is pick the best setups that I like, execute them the best I possibly can, and pick up the small singles. Looking forward to sharing my July results at the end of the month.

I had my biggest loss this month ytd. $NIO I broke a lot of rules and bag held it. I am noticing a pattern. When I am doing well and have good green days, my confidence rises and it leads to one big loss. It's been a thing almost every month or every other month. I need to work on this. July was supposed to be my first green month but got ruined by $NIO because its my fault. No ones else. The good thing is, since its my fault, I can fix it. I just have to be real with myself and work out my problems. I want to keep this month going strong and not think about $NIO. I can only learn from it.
@tradewithvlad I got in touch with support. They said they are aware of the problem and are working on it.

Another red day but small. I got stopped out 3/4 trades with a small loss. It could have been a bigger loss because some of them had rug pulls. I am working on cutting losses with stop losses so I don't have big red days like before. I rather have controlled small losses than bag hold and let my losers get out of control. I have a daily max loss and once it hits, I am done.

Red day today. Nothing bounced out the gate. Had a lot of selling off but no bounces on the panic. Traded 3 tickers and all were red. Today was a little bit bigger of a red day than I would want but all good. I cut losses and set up stops. I got caught in a quick rug pull on APOP which led to a bigger loss than I wanted.
