Did well on ydays CRVO rig and even better on today's $ICCM.
Long side only, solid reads on all legs, scooped more into private placement news anticipating good bounce up. The only missing piece was HOD clearout. Maybe tomorrow?
No large losses
Keep them small and manageable.
Remind yourself of this immediately as the trade goes against you. Several mounting losses in a day can lead to breaking your daily loss limit which can be equally devastating

** Trading Tip**
Momentum can be deadly.
I have a mantra... "Momentum Kills" , similar...
"Momentum ends lives, but structure saves lives".
What do I mean by that?
Every time I can think of that I (or someone else) came close to blowing up my account, or actually blowing my account came as a result of me fading/shorting extreme momentum, or, longing extreme momentum when I severely underestimated the possible move against me, therefore in with size way too big.
Had I just waited for the chart structure to form, I would have entered appropriately and known where to stop out.
Another way momentum kills is when you are in a position without a stop when news hits or other event, and you are sitting on a huge loss you don't want to take.

If your execution is bad, backtest more.
If your emotion control is bad, meditate more.
If your system is bad, practice more.
Don't waste your time doing nothing.
Be cautious getting bearish over one or two candles - easy to get run over that way. Best to wait for things to fail many times and change trend on their own. Gap and grind days are my most low confidence days -- my brain just doesn't work that way although it should by now.
