January 27 & 28

Tuesday - 1 trade. Averaged down... Caught predicting not reacting. Exited promptly.

Trade Execution Grade: D

I had a great entry and continued to add vs cut. Cutting and then re-entering would've been better. Exiting allows me the clarity to reassess the PA

Portfolio: +1.63%

Today

Trade 1: A+. Entered small. Entered close to Stop Loss. Took stop loss. Minimal Loss.

Trade 2: A. Sound entry. No Greed. Exiting at next level. Re-added. Again exited at next level.

Trade 3: D. Oversized. Shit entry. Loss that meaningfully ate into profit.

Trade 4: B+. I was waiting for what I eventually saw on the next trade, but didn't wait. Because I didn't wait, I also didn't wait exiting.

Trade 5: A. I had a very clear, rehearsed, practiced setup. I waited for it. I entered confidently. Exited confidently. Still entered late, but was a stress free trade because I had real conviction in the setup.

On trade 4 I jumped the gun and sized large. If I had just waited for the actual setup and sized similarly... There's a reason it pays to be patient.

Just wait for the setup. Setup came and then didn't size as much despite being more confident. Sub par trades use up mental capital.
