Oct 1, 2018 – Dry Paint

COB Recap

What a BORING day! A bit frustrating as well with the Nasdaq pretty much doing nothing. Took 3 trades in the Topstep account and ended up taking another step backwards in my journey to $2000 with a loss of $75 today. Took a small scalp, a break even, and a loss. However, didn’t take any trades in my live account so still at flat for the month with real money so at the end of the day I’m still winning. I can take as long as I want to reach $2000 in the Topstep account before proceeding to the next step in the combine. Hope we see some volatility tomorrow.

Sep 28, 2018 – Lock the Gains

I decided not to trade in the real account today to I achieved the goal of a green month. Closing the month up +$330, growing the live account about 20%. Definitely would have liked for it to be more but that’s a major improvement over last month where I lost over $2000! So, I am definitely not complaining. I improved greatly over the summer.

 

On another note, I did trade in the Topstep Combine account. Unfortunately, I picked the wrong day and time to trade with extreme aggression in that account, taking a huge step backwards before having to exercise my three strikes rule. I made a couple of mistakes, so I’m more to blame than the market even though it definitely wasn’t the easiest market to trade.

Sep 26, 2018 – Small Gains

I did more paper trading in Sierra Chart today due to not expecting much strength leading up to 14:00 Fed events. Ended up crushing it, taking $530 before 11:10 ET. Good practice. No live trades taken yet, planning to trade the 14:00 time depending on how the market responds to the news.

 

Took a few trades in the Topstep Combine account and ended up scalping my way to a small green day. Over-managed the last play before deciding to make that my last play, climbing my way back to green for the day.

 

Check out the recap video below for details of how those trades unfolded.
