💸 $3,000 withdrawal, only the 4th withdrawal in 2026 to rebuild my Cash Runway to 6+ months to pay the monthly bills.

⌛ ($200.00) Open P/L
⚠️ Only Trade
❗️ I did not intend to swing over the weekend - but closing at "breakeven" won't help with the process - Trade must hit my Stop Loss or Exit at Profit Target or when Stop Loss is adjusted to a Trailing Stop Profit.

✅ $264.70 Net P/L on overnight Swing Trade
🟢 54 pts - Only Trade
❗️ My short entry was per my entry rules, but it became a floor instead of flushing through. I survived the Trade, but no Risk Manager will approve how I did it. Sometimes, profit is profit.

⌛ ($490.00) Open P/L
⚠️ Only Trade
❗️ I am re-learning to place Stops based on the ATR and not needlessly flattening at US close (A habit I developed as a previous prop firm trader)
‼️ Trade will have to hit Stop Loss when I'm wrong and not flat because of US close.

💸 My Trading Business is not yet profitable YTD. However, I've recovered most of my capital the past few weeks.

This is only my 3rd withdrawal in 2026. I am rebuilding my Cash Runway to 6+ months so there's no pressure to withdraw from my Business weekly.

✅ $940.00 P/L
🟢 188 pts - Only Trade
❗️ Massive news - Strait of Hormuz "open". I took Wed & Thu off to reset my risk mindset. I entered a trade at Globex and placed a 40 point Trail before sleeping - A great win even though I left a lot on the table.

💰 No Intraday Trade
❗️ Day 3 of a new Swing Trade. I was “lucky”! It is a razor thin line between “conviction” and “stubbornness”. I admit my Risk Management has been confused.
