Here I will be posting my trades and a brief breakdown.
Today (02/27/2026) i took this trade.
The confluences for this trade are these ones:
- STDV (-4 levels)
- VWAP
- Footprint
- SMT
Trade details:
RR: 1:8 with 0.25% of 50k account
took it at 9:42 AM
My advice is that It’s good to have an idea and a projection of what the market might do, but we need to adapt and not become fixated on that, let it show us what it actually wants to do.

Hello! Today (03/11/2026) I took this trade:
The confluences are the following:
- SMT with ES at PDL
- STDV
- Footprint
Details:
Asset: NQ
RR: 1:2.8
Risk: 0.5% (250$ of a 50K account)
It wasn’t a bad trade, I just think I should have waited for more confluences. I need to improve my patience and avoid FOMO

Hello, here is the trade i took today:
Entry date: 04/13/2026
Time (NY): 8:24 AM
Asset: NQ
BIAS: Bullish
Confluences: CVD Divergence, Clear BIAS and DOL, and price action.
Entry level: 25120.50
Stop-Loss: 25112.25
Take Profit: 25142.50
Risk: 0.5%
RR: 1:2.6
Result: Win
I entered in the left trade because i got FOMO and tried to enter against my BIAS, because when i entered to the charts i was looking for longs, but that trade was more emotional.
The right trade was the other, I probably should have to hold it. But i’m proud of this trade.
See you tomorrow!

Emotions: Greed, and low focus.
Notes: It was not a bad trade, i was going to close it before because of the market conditions, but I holded and when i saw i was 900$ up i though that it will go direcly to tp. And when it went down, I scared and closed it (+0.53%).
(When i got emotional seeing that 900$ up)

high profit target is fine, i know some traders make money from trailing their sl and don’t have profit target, they still make money if their trade’s idea is right and have good risk management

Hello, here is my currently trading plan:
-
Risk:
On an eval, I risk 1% per trade. Maxium 2 trades a day.
On a PA, I risk 0.5% per trade. Maxium 1 trade a day. -
Assets I trade:
NQ, ES & GC. -
Trading sessions:
I only trade within 8:30 - 11:00 AM, and 14:00 - 15:45. -
Model
Currently I am trading fractal model from TTrades + some confluences of orderflow, so the perfect model for me would be: -
Having a clear BIAS
-
Liquidity sweep
-
CISD / OB
-
SMT and if it’s possible a CDV divergences.
-
When I do not trade:
In bank holidays, and before a high-impact new.
When I am too emotionally, stressed or tired.
Finally, I journal every trade I take, and in the end on the week I review all the trades I took during the week and I see my mistakes, the market conditions… This plan is simple but it works for me. You can use this as a template to do your trading plan. Also I recommend you setting up the maxium day loss on tradovate or the broker you use according to your plan.
