70 1 2026-07-13 day trading DE40 0.62 Uncor , SL- Entry was ok, but I had a sudden urge to remove the stop-loss due to having two correlated positions. I wanted to give some wiggle room for both position to show their real intended move, but I was wrong on both. (lesson) From now on, no violation of "Uncor" rule to remove the urge to break the "SL-" rule.
69 1 2026-07-13 day trading BTC 0.10 0 Double click error, duplicate entry, instant closing.
68 1 2026-07-13 day trading BTC 1.13 Micro The entry was very good and had strong momentum. The price reached 90% of my profit target but then decided to turn back. I don't know why. (looking back) This would have been a winning trade. I need to stop micromanaging and get back to trusting my system. The results of my recent trades have been small because of this.
67 1 2026-07-12 day trading BTC 7.91 Micro I took a jab, quick in and out. I promise to not trade on weekends, but the setup just looks nice, I couldn't resist. I did a quick exit at the first resistance zone. Ok now, no more trading.
66 1 2026-07-12 day trading BTC 5.18 Micro Price action on Sundays is just too slow and unpredictable. I need to stop trading on weekends from now on and work on refining my trading skills instead. I need to focus more on perfect execution because I am almost there on Level 2.
65 1 2026-07-11 day trading BTC 0.51 0 Price has already traveled 95% toward my profit target but then went back to my break-even level. I swear, the price action on BTC during the weekend is just weird and unpredictable.
64 1 2026-07-10 day trading US500 0.40 SL- , Uncor *same as previous trade
63 1 2026-07-10 day trading BTC -1.93 SL- , Uncor I violated a major rule here (SL-). This is what usually happens when I have two positions at once that are correlated. Both of them look good at first that's why I was tempted to place a position for both trading pairs at the same time. But as soon as things went wrong, I had a strong urge to remove both SL thinking that I was about to get wicked out before price goes to my direction. The prices have been going against me and I knew it really needed a retracement really soon, and as soon as it did I got out of both positions near break even, waiting for the price go to my PT was out of the question.
62 1 2026-07-10 day trading XAU 0.08 Trend This was not a good entry after a second look at the price action in the higher time frame. I was trading against a major trend. Had to exit.
61 1 2026-07-10 day trading DE40 8.07 0 The setup here was not bad, but had to exit early since it was struggling to develop more strength.
60 1 2026-07-10 day trading BTC -7.32 0 Price moved aggressive towards a major liquidation zone, my thought was to enter once it showed sign of of weakness, but unfortunately price continued to show more strength.
59 1 2026-07-08 day trading DE40 1.03 0 This was such a good entry, but I don't know why it lost so much momentum. Nothing seems to be working today.
58 1 2026-07-08 day trading JP225 6.56 Uncor , Micro , SL- Terrible performance. This was an impulsive trade. The loss from the previous JP225 trade tempted me to repeat the same setup, even though there was no clear support zone to protect my stop-loss level. On top of that, I removed the stop-loss because I expected my SL level to get wicked out before the price moved in my intended direction. The stop-loss should never be removed, this is extremely dangerous. The last time this happened was on Trade #8. I need to do better.
57 1 2026-07-08 day trading BTC 12.52 0 My entry here was a little off and the setup was not as good. I need to be a little patient and wait for a good setup. I had to close the position early due to the lack of strength in price action.
56 1 2026-07-08 day trading JP225 -19.94 0 The price action for this one looks good at first, but I did not wait for a confirmation to execute the trade. I got in way too early and not waited to see if momentum has shifted. Too many of my losing trade from bad entries seems to be the same as this. This is a major thing to improve on.
55 1 2026-07-06 day trading US500 0.98 Trend After second analysis on the price action, I found out I am actually trading against a major trend. It's a good thing I exited right away before the price moved quickly against my direction.
54 1 2026-07-06 day trading BTC 15.92 Micro I would have gotten the full win here if I had just left it alone, but I got shaken out. When the price reached 95% of the way to my PT, it reversed aggressively. I decided to wait for a retrace and looked for a good area to exit. As the price movement lost its momentum, I exited manually rather than waiting for my PT to be hit.
53 1 2026-07-04 day trading BTC 0.10 0 I need to stop trading BTC during the weekends, the volatility is lower and price movement seems to be more unpredictable.
52 1 2026-07-03 day trading JP225 -0.22 0 Good setup, excellent execution, but disappointing result.
51 1 2026-07-02 day trading BTC 1.41 Micro Not performing good today, also I got a little tilted from doubting myself from other setups. There were two setups that went exactly as predicted, but couldn't pull the trigger.
50 1 2026-07-02 day trading JP225 -0.50 Trend This was an impulsive trade. SL wasn't placed correctly behind a support zone and there were no clear price direction. I had to close the position.
49 1 2026-07-02 day trading JP225 13.11 Micro The setup looks really good, but tempted to micro manage it and got shaken out before reaching the full PT.
48 1 2026-07-01 day trading JP225 -0.14 0 Need to look for better price action structure, don't force it.
47 1 2026-07-01 day trading JP225 9.32 0 This looked like A+ setup, the price surged nicely, but I don't know why the it lost its momentum, there were no strong resistance. But I got out right away when price broke structure.
46 1 2026-07-01 day trading BTC 0.42 0 Good execution, but the trend lost momentum, I sense something was wrong so I set the SL above breakeven.
