13 1 2026-06-08 day trading BTC 0.36 0 I moved the SL to breakeven since the price has already reach 90% towards price target, but unlucky this time, it didn't reach profit target.
12 1 2026-06-08 day trading DE40 0.46 0 This was a miracle that I got out a little above breakeven. This trade was 1 tick away from hitting the stop-loss, it was only right to exit at the best opportunity.
11 1 2026-06-08 day trading BTC 0.64 Micro After a second thought, I am not convinced this was a good trade. For sure there was no patience regarding this trade. Impulsive move from the result of the first DE40 trade today.
10 1 2026-06-08 day trading DE40 20.29 0 Stop-loss placement is better this time.
9 1 2026-06-08 day trading DE40 -20.50 0 Just bad entry, trading against the bigger trend without confirmation, no patience
8 1 2026-06-06 day trading BTC 20.04 SL- , Trend , Micro This was basically a revenge trade, and the feeling intensified once I noticed that I had placed the wrong position size, three times larger than I intended. The moment I entered the trade, the price immediately moved against my direction and went past my usual $20 stop. Once I realized the position size was wrong, I removed my stop-loss (SL) to give the trade more room to wiggle. Luckily for me, the price moved back into profit, and I exited the trade right away. Most of my big losses have happened because I removed my stop-loss while trading with a large position size. I need to stop doing this. I got really tilted from the last trade. I need to be patient, wait for confirmation before entering a position, and stay away from the chart once a position is placed to reduce stress. Stick to the plan.
7 1 2026-06-06 day trading BTC -20.03 Trend , Micro I didn't wait for a confirmation that the retracement was over. Stop-loss placement is also not good.
6 1 2026-06-05 day trading BTC 3.39 Micro 30 seconds later after I exited from the last trade, I went back in realizing the setup still looks good, but then again exited right away because I didn't know if I'm actually thinking right. It has been a long day, might be tired. Again, if I just let it run, this would have been a win. It's same setup as the last trade, except the last one has slightly better entry.
5 1 2026-06-05 day trading BTC -1.66 Micro I started doubting my entry because I keep checking the charts, price movement was choppy. At the end, looking back, this would have been a win if I just let it run.
4 1 2026-06-05 day trading BTC 20.91 0 This one was risky, but I just feel there was still more pressure going towards my target. A really big trend supports my direction.
3 1 2026-06-05 day trading JP225 -20.03 0 Wrong placement of stop-loss, should have placed in the obvious last low.
2 1 2026-06-05 day trading BTC 20.04 0 Somewhat doing a counter trend entry, but I feel there was a good chance of a bounce.
1 1 2026-06-05 day trading JP225 -21.22 0 Ok loss
