US30 short closed at TP 🎯
Entry criteria:
• Type 1 pattern

TP was set at the low of the day.
Could price continue lower? Maybe.
But it’s Friday.
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that Fridays often lack the volume needed to reach STP for the day. Instead of getting greedy, I followed the plan and secured profits at the objective.
Trading isn’t about catching every pip.
It’s about consistently taking what’s available and moving on to the next opportunity. 📉
Today's USOIL trade was a great example of why context matters.
After 3 consecutive days of bullish movement, we were anticipating either consolidation or a pullback.
Price then printed a bearish engulfing candle, giving us our confirmation. Entry was taken on the retest of the engulfing candle.
✅ TP hit at STP for the day
✅ 1:7 Risk-to-Reward
Trading isn't about predicting the market.
It's about recognizing when probabilities shift in your favor and executing the plan.
We gotta stop reinforcing this idea that we can reform corrupt systems.
Abolishing them and creating NEW policy that actually protects and cares for citizens is the only way. You can’t correct corruption.
It bums me out that we have the resources to fix our society, stop our reliance on fossil fuels, guarantee healthcare, house the homeless, and feed every person in the country, but doing so would be a bad time for like, 8 dudes, so we can’t do it.
