Alright! Not often do I get the chance to apply lessons from previous day so quickly! But that's what happened today. At 10am took the reversal setup off a playbook setup for raid/reversal and got this one all the way! Reflections: Still didn't follow risk management to the letter but this time, I'm glad I didn't. I only set my stop to 1:4 and did not simply take the money when price ran to 1:4. May be something I need to look in to closer if I'm just more aligned to a different, more flexible RM plan? Is it a contradiction or maybe just need some tweaking. For now, I'm just happy I'm finally out of drawdown.

Finally finished the report card for the week. not a bad week financially but Friday's entry was the most informative and will set the tone for this coming week. Change is hard - I am a consistent dude. It is both a skill and a weakness. Being rooted and consistent can be a positive but when overutilized turns into being stubborn. Friday: SOOOO close to being out of drawdown. -$40. What an accomplishment. Squandered for greed. Trade 1: Stopped out. Trade 2: 1:2, set to BE, price hit BE. Trade 3: stopped out. Trade: 4: stopped out. At this point I am back near -1% drawdown and very conscious not to spiral.. On a Friday. Trade 5: stopped out. Trade 6: no fill. Closed trade. I am in overtime at this point, exceeding 4 trade/day and hanging on the sentiment that Trade 2 was BE. Telling myself I have one more shot. Technically, true but high risk for a Friday. Trade 7: Price moves to 1:3 allowing me to set stop to 1:1. Price wicks 1:4 but I want more. I take a partial when price comes back to 1:2. And close the rest around 1:3 (+2.5R against -4R). Opportunity to have been BE on the day if I closed at 1:4 was wasted and instead I go into the weekend still in drawdown.
