My goal is to be either "Profitable, Neutral or CLOSE TRADE"
- CRITICAL ASSUMPTIONS NOTE - 4 Contracts are used only once per day per symbol. The goal is to capture the best setup for the day and get as much out of the market as possible. Any trades AFTER that trade, (if there are any), have only 1 contract and stops are managed aggressively.

WEEK #4 Net Loss -$4,963
(Tuesday was a simulation of a negative day trading -$4,317) On this day, I hit my $500 limit too early in the day, so I decided to make it a Big Loss day and hopefully illustrate what it would look like when committing the common mistakes made when trading carelessly.
Otherwise, the week was Small Loss.

During testing, I was placing lots and lots of trades generating fees. Now, I manage aggressively to keep fees low to neutral.
Consider what a bad day looks like. See below. For what ever reason, my mind was some where else. I was completely unable to focus and instead of stopping and taking the day off, I kept on going.
YOU MUST REALIZE THAT YOU NEED TO TAKE THE DAY OFF WHEN YOU HAVE THIS KIND OF PERFORMANCE. There is no need to continue to force trades in with out proper execution.
The big lessons come from your bad days and not your good ones. Do not be afraid of having a bad day. There is a lot to learn from it.
