AAR

• Objective: Follow mission plan with extreme prejudice.
• Outcome: Second day of my 2-car phase was a winner. One of my trades was stopped out to the tick before powering higher. But I took all of the setups and held them per my plan. Mission was accomplished.
• Observations: Today was a much better day for my attitude and focus. However, after my stop-out-to-the-tick I found myself starting to look for ways to avoid them. I do intend to look for a way (or ways) to improve my method later, but I need to stay focused on my exercise for now.

I'll be taking the day off tomorrow, so I'll be back to trading on Tuesday.
