In the world of trading, there are days when we win, and there are days when we lose. But it's important to be grateful for every opportunity we have to trade. Today, I am grateful for just that.
Yesterday evening, I was exhausted, which is unusual for me. I hadn't completed my usual preparation during the Asia session, and I woke up to a few normal losses on my MFF account. I realized that it's best not to trade if I'm tired and unprepared. Rushing into the market without a full analysis can be costly, as I paid for it on my TFT account.
However, it's important to understand that a losing trade is not a failure but a purchased data. It's essential not to forget your win rate when taking a loss and observe rule breaks and your trading battery level to make sure you're on the right track.
I took a 45-minute break until after the equity market opened and then re-entered the market with a short bias. I took shorts on US30 and NAS100, and it turned out to be my best live performance to date, even with a 2.5% loss on my TFT account. Here are my results for the day:
Funded Engineer 100k +4.5%
TFT 200k -2.5%
FTMO +3%
MFF +2%
Overall, CPI Wednesday taught me reinforced a lesson: it's best not to trade when I'm not feeling well-rested or fully prepared. However, it's important to take losses as purchased data and learn from them. I'm grateful for the opportunities I have and look forward to continuing my journey as a trader.
US30
On Monday the market gave us our First Red Day after forming Peak Formation High
Price goes up
Traps volume outside the Previous Day's High
Comes back inside and closes below the open
Tuesday extended the weekly initial balance below Mondays low
I had Long positions over night hoping to ride back to the HOW before shorting
They were stopped out at London Open
Price went vertical on CPI Data Release where I tried to short from Tuesday's HOD
This setup failed incurring losses on my TFT acccount
I completed my analysis across all pairs and returned 45 mins later after Equity market opened
Price had Failed at the HOW so I entered Short targeting the LOW
This was enough to secure the profits shown above
I took a similar entry on NAS100 but it did not move as aggressively as this
There was an additional short entry on the retracement from the LOW to the Initial Balance Midpoint which eventually hit all TPs before reversing later in the day
