Trading Journal Day 23 - Fridays I Journal Late
Fridays I Journal Late
I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.
~ Douglas Adams
I need to post each trading journal before the next trading day. That is what drives me to actually get my post out each night. After a Friday close, what's the urgency? Markets don't open until Monday. So here we are Sunday night, and I'm finally ready to share Friday's trades with you.

Trade Journal
Friday I Bought

Nothing new

Open Trades
While everything else about an open trade is established at entry, the ‘stop loss’ order will be adjusted periodically over the life of a trade. The idea is to move the stops at key price points and let the profitable trades keep running.
No adjustments today.
