❗️ I'm not normally comfortable holding a short overnight - specially before a Tier-1 Economic data release. However, I believed in my thesis and ensured I was all hands on deck before data release.

❗️ This trade ran on steam and had low probability of profitability. Glad I profited - I didn't have the confidence to hold over the weekend en route back to /YM (DJIA) All time high.

❗️ First execution in July. For 1.5 week, I've pretty much been observing but didn't find a good entry.
❗️I used the 1 hour ATRTrailingStop value as potential "floor" when I made this entry before going to bed last night.

💰 My share of the expenses halfway through 2026 for 2 adults and a toddler in a HCOL area. I'm on track to hit my goal of less than $100K annually!
⚠️ Lots of travel expenses towards the end of the year - so we'll see if I'll make it 🤞

❗️ The volatility caused by the "War" in IRAN pre, during and post the weekend can make any short term traders crazy. I've been using my Investor Hat to survive the "noise" with bigger delta's on the OCO.
