⌛ ($747.00) Open P/L - Day 01 of Swing
📈 Long Position
❗️ Futures is Mark to Market - there's no "Unrealized P/L" - they're all realized at the Settlement Price at US close
❌ I haven't posted an adverse trade in a while - so I figured I'd switch it up 😅

❗️ I'm not normally comfortable holding a short overnight - specially before a Tier-1 Economic data release. However, I believed in my thesis and ensured I was all hands on deck before data release.

❗️ This trade ran on steam and had low probability of profitability. Glad I profited - I didn't have the confidence to hold over the weekend en route back to /YM (DJIA) All time high.

❗️ First execution in July. For 1.5 week, I've pretty much been observing but didn't find a good entry.
❗️I used the 1 hour ATRTrailingStop value as potential "floor" when I made this entry before going to bed last night.

💰 My share of the expenses halfway through 2026 for 2 adults and a toddler in a HCOL area. I'm on track to hit my goal of less than $100K annually!
⚠️ Lots of travel expenses towards the end of the year - so we'll see if I'll make it 🤞

❗️ The volatility caused by the "War" in IRAN pre, during & post the weekend can make any short term traders crazy. I've been using my Investor Hat to survive the "noise" with bigger delta's on the OCO

If you're following along with this swing trade - how would you execute and manage your risk?

[Rocky Mark @RockyMarkVntrs]

⌛ $510 Open P/L - Day 03
⚠️ Long Position
❗️ I missed an opportunity to exit at US Open. It's easy to take a "quick" profit after a massive drawdown. However, structurally based on 1 hour ATR the trade is not yet where I would move my Stop Loss into Stop Profit.
