Beyond happy...

Hey guys,

So I've been trading in the simulator for about 3 weeks now. Of course, it has been a massive learning curve for me. I noticed as the time has gone on that I've rushed in at the open with FOMO. Towards the back end of last week, I realised I was losing trades from 09:30-10:00 and then pulling it back from 10:00 onwards. Therefore, I told myself over the weekend that on Monday (today) I would not trade for 30 minutes from the open. 10:00 came, I saw MU reject the VWAP and my plan finally come to fruition. My stop loss was initially  $44.55, I then changed it to $44.45 once I covered 50%. My target was for it to break the low of the day but sadly that never happened therefore I partialled along the way. I can't honestly tell you all how happy I am! Not just because it was a winning trade but because I had a plan and I stuck to it. Please see my trade attached.

Happy & safe trading!

Great trade James. Think this hits the nail on the head of why it is important to journal your trades, not just to make a playbook, but to understand what and when things work. A lot can be learnt from something so simple as details on an Excel spreadsheet. Keep up the good work!

Well done James! Great reflection and action 🙂

Awesome trade! But I think you meant stop loss at 45.55 and 45.45 instead of 44.55 and 44.45. Well done I'm happy for you!
