October 26, 2026 (3 Trades) (-$81.25)
Ocerall Grade: D+
Day Summary: Well, considering how Friday went and the fact that I did not properly prepare on Sunday night, I should not be surprised that I did not control my emotions today. I took a good first trade on MNQ that I can be totally content with loosing on, and I told myself that in the moment, but thinking about the money and not the process caused me to take a second trade with no set up. After stopping out of that trade I took two more revenge trades that were both very risky, and even when I was right, couldn't hold (Trade 4). Just poor emotionl control today. I knew I should have stopped after my first trade, because it was a looser I could be content with.
