“Cut the lossy trade early, managed the MTM with minimal loss with the 2nd trade”…[..]
:: After the first week on back foot, and back to back losses. Took few days break, Traded again on 14th February, 2024.
Again, faced loss on 14th February 2024, on the first trade and exited at SL and taken the 2nd trade of the day which was planned and executed, and the market also traded on my favor and somehow managed to recover with minimal MTM loss towards the end of the day.
