First trade of the day was a loss, and I was a loser. However, I deserved the loss. It was the result of lack of discipline to follow my trading rules, that is never enter a trade during the first hour of stocks market opening. I was eager to enter Long trade of E-mini S&P […]

Long position of E-mini Nasdaq was established above 930am (chicago time) candle. Trailing stop was moved twice, and […]
