1 trade today hit max loss. got sucked into adding before the trade proved itself.
I've gone into sierra chart settings and put in place a maximum size limit. I can only trade 5 contracts total now.
Also after calculating my average winning day from this week ($87.00) I'm going to lower my max daily loss to $150. If im taking trades within my allotted risk per trade I should still be able to get three trades before i hit my max loss.
This was a particularly silly trade today. took double size on a wide stop before we got the HOD sweep. I know better but ill come back on Monday and give it another go.
have a good weekend everyone.

@stephenH Hey stephen! No worries just write a comment or send me a message any time.
I'm more of an intra-day swing/position trader but i've done a bit of scalping in the past. Are you trading a 2-legged pull back or something similar?

Hey Hunter! It's Stephen, I commented on your youtube video, sorry I didn't get back to you yet. Thanks for sharing your progress and your trades, I am in the evaluation process for Apex as well. I've been studying and day trading price action for 4yrs now. I am primarily a scalper (taking high probability trades holding for 1-3 bars) transitioning from swing trading taking reversal and breakout setups (holding for hours). I got caught in yesturday's small pullback bull trend which was similar to today's (from 11-12:30).
