MES1! Long — 2025-03-06

3/6/25 $MES (Reset, focus, and return to executing disciplined setups.) Took this trade again in the wrong state of mind. I was looking for a buy to sell setup and I wanted to take the buy on the LTF and the sell from the HTF. There was a STL that had a 15m+FVG we'd traded into and we had a few LTF IFVG setups that were created and traded through after the Unemployment claims were released. The were traded into and through and I had my entry for the buy setup and traded through to have price drop lower and then push into the 4H-FVG that I was looking to take the sell from but I had again went on tilt a bit and decided to sit out after doing this again for a second time this week. The STH create was the FVG entry that I was expecting this look out all the lows I was expecting price to trade to. I was really off this week because I wanted to finish the [broker] Combine as I was at the halfway point and just wanted to get it over with. This completely backfired and now because of this I had to reset my account and I'll need to start from scratch since I violated the rules and my max loss. When the numbers came out price just stalled out and whipped me around.
