December 2, 2025 (5 Trades) (-$96.25)
There are mainly two things I want to focus on tonight and those are:
- The A+ quality loss i took on Trade 1
- How after that, I switched over to my funded account, got liquidated for the day, and then was driven into tilt
1.
- The only thing that doesn't make this an A+ loss is that we were trending up through the premarket (5 Min - 15 MIN)
- Everything else though was exactly what I want to see in a loosing trade
- playbooked set up - good
- fakeout entry - good
- held winner for 6838.50 target - good
- recognized we were setting a HL in a bullish move (5 Min - 15 Min) - good job paying ttention to price action
- didn't go breakeven stop, but went to a smaller than normal size loss (-$22.50) but I spot where I knew the trade was invalidated (I didn't want to close breakeven just to see it go to target because at breakeven, the trade thesis was still valid)
- A quality loss - very happy with this
2.
I was content with my first loss, and even told myself it was ok if I finished the day with that trade alone, but instead I flipped to the funded account and got liquidated. That set me off, and when I came back to my live account i was in a state of pure emotions, trying to force opportunity out of the market and putting on risk to do so. See my final trades screenshot below:
So, going into tomorrow. My rule with be, two trades max! No matter the outcome. Respect yourself. Make the first step to stop this overtrading emotional state I've been in. And that first step is to detach, and follow my rules. That is it.
