November 5, 2025 (+$62.50) - The Beauty Of One And Done

Lesson/Review

November 5, 2025 (1 Trade) (+$62.50)

Overall Grade: B+

Day Summary: I paid attention to price action going into market open, saw my set up, and executed it. Simple as that today. I held my winning trade and it bounced 2 ticks from of my preset TP, and once I saw the bounce I just closed out of fear. It was still a good trade but I was cautious that we could flip long where I got out and we sure did. We flew, so it was good that i didn't get greedy today.

TRADES

Short 2 MES @ 21 EMA  Trap + Intuition + Order Flow + Key Level

  • While I was marking up the charts I had noticed we were trending up so I as telling myself to look for longs today, however, around 9am we started to downtrend into open so I flipped my bias
  • playbooked set up at a key level - great!
  • trading with price action - great!
  • great entry which allowed me to hold the drawdown more comfortably
  • watching the DOM helped me hold the winner on this trade, especially after fake bouncing off yesterday's LOD (red dashed line)
  • exit candle bounced 2 ticks from my preset TP and then I just bailed mostly out of fear that we could rip long (which we ended up doing just a minute or two later) but still not really a good thing to be making decisions out of fear
  • we did end up hitting preset TP level, but I did know this was the zone it could bounce and oooo we did lol
  • all and all this was a properly executed trade on a good set up - GOOD Shiit!!
