Big win today, should have been bigger!
📊 Trading Session Recap
What’s up, everybody?I hope you all had a great trading day. The futures markets were very different today—the Nasdaq was weak from the open, while the Dow was strong right out of the gate.
💡 We were able to capitalize within the first hour, going long on the Dow and short on the Nasdaq.
Across the three accounts, I hit a high watermark of ~$1,100, but I made some mistakes, got a little complacent, and gave back about half of that profit. I finished the day with a 61% hit rate, trading 196 contracts, and 427 contracts total across all three accounts. Simply put—I gave far too much back to the market today.
🧠 Key Lesson from Today
The biggest takeaway for me was realizing that I haven’t had a big win after the first 30–40 minutes of a session in quite some time. When that happens, even if I’m not feeling negative emotions, I can still be emotional from success—from the day itself and even from momentum built the day before.
That sense of euphoria can quietly lead to complacency:
⚠️ When you’re in that state, you must stick to your trading plan:
- Wait for the setups you clearly identified ahead of time
- Do not take trades just because you’re up money
- Do not assume a profitable day will continue on autopilot
The market will take it back just as fast as it gives it.
🔒 Final Thoughts
Overall, today was still a good day, and I felt solid throughout most of the session. That said, I gave too much back in the final 20 minutes. I need to be tighter, more disciplined, and more protective of my capital once profits are earned.
If you have any questions from today, drop them in the community and I’ll get back to you.See you all tomorrow 👊
