  1. I think that I may have fallen into the trap of mistaking a good entry for a good trade. I'll wait and see.

  2. awesome entry, but IMO at least a partial exit is called for around the last low, 1552 in this case

  4. The only thing keeping me in this trade is the fact that it's not not working. I am starting to become extremely apathetic though, which isn't a good sign.

  8. I strayed away from the trading style (scalping) that I wanted to use with this journal on Trade 2. I held the trade for 2 hours and ended up with the same amount of profit that I could have had after 10 minutes. From now on, I don't want to hold anything longer than 30 minutes unless I am extremely confident (which I wasn't today).
