Day 48 — Trading Only S&P Futures | Risk Down, Focus Up

Recap & Trades
Day 48 — I slept 10 hours to recover from the flu, woke up a bit foggy, and just eased into the day.
Took my time reviewing market structure and waited for clean confirmation before taking any trades.

The 11:40 VXAlgo DD Sell Signal lined up perfectly with the bearish flip and 10-min MOB zone — I shorted the recovery and let the market do the work.
Missed a few bottom orders, but overall execution was clean and controlled.

Lesson & Mindset
The key lesson today: when you’re on a hot streak, the best move isn’t to press harder — it’s to protect the gains.
That’s why I’m reducing my position size for the next few sessions. This isn’t about making more; it’s about keeping what I’ve earned.

News & Levels
Headline: The IRS plans to furlough 34,000 employees as the U.S. government shutdown continues — something to keep an eye on for market volatility.
Tomorrow’s levels: Above 6785 bullish, below 6765 bearish.
