Took a full loss today. Happens once or twice a week on average. As long as I followed my rules I am happy. Moving on to tomorrow.
Ouch, rough day. Got short overnight and then Saudi Arabia came out and said they would freeze output if Iran does also. Get stopped. Get long. Russia comes out and says nope, prices will remain lower no matter what, if a country decreases output the void will be filled by someone else. Get stopped. I'm like fellas, fellas, fellas, can we decide on a direction please. Get short. Close out day for a 0.0139 loss. Down week. Still have a decent month going. I expect volatility next week which could mean opportunity.

Down day. Got stopped twice. Days like this kill my system. Followed my rules so today is still a success.
Slight down day today. First month trading this strategy is in the books. 32 total trades for a net gain of 2.62%. Missed a few big winners because I was away from my computer but hey that's life. This strategy is a system with no discretionary properties from me at all. I may run the same strategy in my paper account but with some discretionary input from me in tandem next month to see how I do. I feel like I am getting decent at spotting reversals but maybe it's just false illusions. Anyways I am happy with this first month and I am looking forward to the next.
Good day today. Forgot to post yesterday which had a loss a little smaller than today's gain so I am flat for the week.
