Topstep Combine Day 2: $2128.38, PF 3.04, WR 57.89%, aWaL 2.21

Super happy with the performance today - really tough type of day for me historically, because:

• The day started with a strong push without pausing.

• Prices moves in and out of the opening range, without immediately failing or breaking out with any strength. Sorta lukewarm moves.

Here’s the overview:

P/L: $2128.38
PF: 3.04
WR: 57.89%
aWaL: 2.21

Good stats today, decent patience, overall a good session.

The biggest takeaway from today is actually getting back to journaling a little more seriously.

I dug up one of my old accounting ledgers - it’s a pain in the butt to go through a lot of trades at a time, but it’s always been helpful.

Here’s what it looks like:

Here’s a closer look at the price action and the specific executions. It’s not quite there yet, but it’s an improvement over what I was doing before - just skipping over things.

This one’s worth coming back to in the future and looking for fewer, better trades. I’m happy with the results today and the stats, but the trade setups aren’t as strong as the last few trading sessions.

LAST GOAL: Journal by setup type
DONE?: Yes!

ONE STRENGTH:

Aggressive stops!

ONE WEAKNESS:

Too many C-level setups.

NEXT SESSION GOAL: Fewer trades, A-level setups.

Trade well!
