Trades 7/1 (Wed) - Wrap Up

Still not hitting daily target for a supposedly good week (for me), but I'm not going to be too bothered. Targets are meant to be unattainable anyway. Ha.

Will continue to skip the ES. Tomorrow's likely to be a crazy day.

Not trading the 6E next week. Going back to ES, and will need all the sleep I can get before the US market opens.

I did something horrible today. I gave D trade signals. He took them - well half of them to be precise. He took the entry signals but not the exit, and overstayed. Because of the first loss (I'm going to have to stop thinking aloud, coz when I do, D takes it that my ideas are actionable and actually trades them!), I felt I needed to help him recover his loss, and he felt he needed MORE ticks to make up for his loss. Bad. He had refused to take 1-point profit when I asked him to get out, and ended up scratching. That's it. No more telling him when to get in. He does so much better when left on his own.

I'm done for the day. Will see what unfolds in the 6E tomorrow. If I have to stay on the sideline, I will.
