February 11, 2026 (2 Trades) (+$21.25)

Overall Grade: B

Day Summary: It's funny how trading works because the better of my two trades today was the losing trade and the worse of the two was the winner. I was just half a point away from catching a nice, decent win on Trade 1 but it hit my preset stop at 5 points instead of 6 (because I clicked the OCO button when I was 1 point in profit. That was a bit tough, but I also caught that trade on the funded and held through the pullback so I at least got a win on that account. I also wasn't super upset about it because it was the right idea, just wrong timing. The second trade was not as good but turned out to be almost double the size of my loser which is ideal, but I did FOMO the entry, so thankfully the trend saved me on that. Shoutout to Eury for calling the take of data lows as a target. I was already leaning short, but when he called that out I realized that was a likely outcome on a day like today and I was able to hold my second trade to the preset TP because of that.

TRADES

Trade 1 - Short 1 MES @ 21 EMA Trap + Right Idea, Wrong Timing + Order Flow

Grade: A-

1. good entry at 21 EMA, Key Level, and gap in volume based on the DOM
2. trading with current price action - good
3. stop was too tight on this, although that is my preset stop - looking back, stop should have went 2 ticks above Yesterday's HOD (dashed green)
4. also looking back, I could have guessed that it would give a quick pop to stop out anyone who was short from the previous wicks minutes before my entry
5. target was VWAP
6. I would consider this the rare A quality loosing trade, but that's just trading

Trade 2 - Short 1 MES @ Trend Continuation + Data Candle Level + FOMO Entry

Grade: B-

1. shoutout to Eury for calling the data candle low target
2. FOMO'd the entry though, as this could have been a much better trade (better R) had I waited for my set up which would have been an entry at VWAP / 21 EMA
3. tough to hold through the drawdown considering this would have been my second loss on the day but since I was sized down, it was manageable - sizing down for the dubb
4. trading in the direction of the trend - good - saved me on a trade like this - always more likely to get luckty when trading with the trend
5. good job holding all the way to preset TP [data low and Today's Open (blue dashed)] even though it was fucking around at TP for a 4 mins and kept wicking back up
6. doubled the size of my loosing trade by actually holding a winner with the trend, but had I been more patient with my entry and taken my set up this could have been triple the size of my loser
7. shut it down for the day after this trade because I knew I wasn't mentally on my A game today
