Day 5 — Trading Only S&P Futures — +$169, Managing the Grind

39
Welcome to Day 5 of Trading Only S&P Futures!

Today I made +$169 trading ES futures. I was busy so mostly set bracket orders at major levels and let them do their work. The market was a nonstop grind upward, making trading a bit slow.

In hindsight, there was an A+ setup with a triple buy signal and market structure alignment that I wish I had sized heavier on to finish earlier.
