Gold rolled over into new contract. Lot of jumpy price action. People hit lot of big marker orders today. One second and price jumped 2-3 points.
Bad trading, kept looking trades where there wasn't any and give more room for trade to work out than nessesary.
Luckily funded account wasn't read and traded only on APEX evaluation.

1) BPB short, closed bit before target, there was 1 min left till market open and volatility comes in.
2) BPB long
3) BPB short
So far I would say okey trading.

9) BPB long, basically okey but stop should have been much closer.
10) Not a good entry and even worse stop placement.

USA has almost 2 days off. Done for today. Usually when USA has free days price movement is not good.

1) BPB long and re-entry (on Apex account) . Interesting thing, same stop but in TradeDay funded account stop didn't trigger but in Apex evaluation account I got stopped.
2) TST long.
3) BPB short.

Hi Mandarin,

Nice Trading I hope you will keep it going, no one wants to have to do a real job.

Money is running out. If I don’t find consistency I need to go back to work 1.03.2026 Week or two good trading and then day or two to mess all up. Its time to breakout out of this cycle. Maybe public journal with daily summaries will help. Step 1 - get funded by Apex Step 2 - first payout Step 3 - regular payouts On Monday I will restart Apex evaluation.
You forgot the final step:

Step 4 - get rich and retire early

For me retirement is a job market thing. If I compare my current trading with my last job,
trading is so relaxing, its almost like zero stress thing. But you are right, my journey does not end with step 3.

Theme of a day - lot of wrong locations for trades. Too many trades to write up.
Wild ride. Down to -1000 and back up to zero. Back down to -600 and back up to -50.
Trades 9 and 17 saved the day.

Hi Mandariin,
I must admit I find my Trading far more relaxed since I started to aim for one Winning Trade a Day. With a Maximum of two Trades a Day I know the Worst Downside any single Day can deliver. I am finding this very Positive for my Trading Results Long Term.

One thing what I am planning to do is to use bigger targets. This makes less trades for me. In my trading hours I plan to take all valid setups. My market read was quite off today.

Bad trading again. I confuse two different things "what is going on" and "what I like to see"
Need to stay in present and focus what is going on.

1) and 2) entries ok but I should have managed the trade. There was 2 sighs, opportunities ( a and b - BPB Short setups ) to close trade a least breakeven.

3) rushed entry and scared myself out of trade for no reason.
4) BPB short good. 10 point winner closed at "round number xx25) better, logical exit should have been at closes horizontal below.

7) TST short ok but stopped
8) finally trend change and good BPB long entry. But scared my self out of trade. Wanted some losses back.

3 day of bad trading. Made big dent into funded account -1200 and 170 drawdown lift.
Price move from range into range. Most of the loses would have been avoided by not trading inside of the range.

1) and 2) TST long into resistance range.
3) BPB short but pullback too deep.
Market too strong, missed 2 breakout trades and then
4) and 5) "now its good time to go long and add to loser"

1st trade good but managed myself out of trade too early.
And then started to buy every new low. Wanted to be 1st who catches the trend change,
but it never happened.

I need to keep losing days smaller and take more out winning day.
And I don't need to push my will on the market to do that.
Market is willing to give 2-3 x more than I get. $200-300 are reachable.
