• I did a good job waiting patiently for the trade
• I exited the trade early to make early cash flow to close the day positive as I had some other pending commitments which I needed to attend to.
• It was imperative to close net positive today as I am on bit of cold streak and streaks end by closing positive.
• I CAN IMPROVE EVERYDAY
