One trade, one win, and done for the New York session. 🎯

Today was a good reminder that the goal isn’t to catch every move—it’s to execute the plan and protect the book.

Coming into the trade, both the 4H and 1H trends were bearish, so the larger context favored the short side. I got the bearish opportunity, but because the entry was inside a CAB, I treated it as a C-grade risk opportunity rather than allowing the strong trend alignment to justify more size.

The normal structure targets didn’t fit inside the available reward cap, so I took the TMT 1:1 path instead. The planned exit was around 40 points, and I ultimately got roughly 41.5 points, or about +$166 per TPT account.

What happened afterward was probably the most valuable part of the session.

Price pushed into the 5-minute second-standard-deviation area and then reversed hard enough to reach my MAE level. Had I tried to squeeze more out of the trade instead of respecting the planned exit, a clean winner could have turned into a loser and damaged the available room on the prop accounts.

Then the market flipped and presented what looked like a classic 5-minute ORB opportunity in the opposite direction. I passed.

Part of that was simple discipline: I had already won my first trade and didn’t need to give the market another chance at my money. More importantly, the bullish move had already reached both the 5-minute and the farther 15-minute second-standard-deviation projections, so the reward structure I would normally want was no longer there.

That was enough for me.

Today’s lesson: a good session isn’t measured by how many moves I caught. It’s measured by whether I followed my process, sized appropriately, took the exit I planned, protected my buying power, and knew when there was no reason to keep trading.

1 trade. 1 win. No unnecessary second exposure. Session finished. ✅
