A satisfying green day!
+5% by 9:55 on my decreased account size--moved money out to slow myself down and preserve ammo.
My plan for the day was:
4 trades maximum
15% pl target (vs 12%)
Tiiiiight stops
AND, plan to annotate my charts. I think I've gotten sloppy/lazy with journaling as I've gotten sloppy with my account. No more zillion trade days that I'm too discouraged to try to annotate. Need to trade clean and clear, and then it should not be hard to annotate.
So with regards to aiming for 15%, I'm not sure how that worked. Today I think tight stops was more of what helped me than taking targets.
I like how I pressed in and got my $$ in the opening moves. I don't like when I mess around after 10. After 10 should be just trimming and trailing, not initiating.
