Dear Diary,
I started my second combine for TopStepTrader.com and I want to reach my profit objective of $3K, in December.
I only executed one trade on my combine account and got T1, or 10 ticks, on Crude oil. I did, eventually, get stopped-out at b/e plus 1 tick. The ONLY reason that I'm moving my stop loss sooooooooo early, is because I'm only playing with two contracts. I need at least three cars to leave my stop-loss at b/e negative ticks.
I need to produce $1,500 in profits, before TsT will allow me to trade 3 cars.
During the pre-market analysis, I identified the trend on my 15m chart as down. I took Crude Short, at the open, with a 60/15 confluence zones as my confirmation.
I've decided to take ONE trade PER DAY on my Combine Account. I didn't make the $300 I was seeking, today, but I live to trade another day. It also strokes my ego that I have a 100% winning percentage, on my first day.
BTW, the other successful trades that you DO SEE on my chart. They were executed on my practice account and therefore DO NOT COUNT towards my combine. If I accounted for those trades, I would've made well over $350.00 in profits for the day.
