I started out uncertain and feeling the pressure from a rough open, but I adjusted my approach, trusted my understanding of key levels, and made use of flexible position sizing to manage risk. As I navigated some challenging price action, I learned the importance of patience and timing, especially when testing out new setups and trade management techniques. By the end, I felt more confident in my decisions, glad I chose a futures market with fewer restrictions and happy that my methodical approach and quick adaptations ultimately paid off.
