Trade Review

3/26/25 $MES Not a great day of trading so far.  I didn’t really have a bias today and saw that we could go either direction.  The news didn’t really have a clear stance on what we should expect.  On top of that, there were so many platform issues and system issues.  I needed to restart in the middle of the session, the charts were freezing, the order placement was off, there was just confusion around the correct order panel on [broker], and [broker] randomly logged me out and onto another chart.  I did manage to take a few trades but no volume on the move and price is stalling so I decided to scratch them in a small profit.  Not worth the risk on these setups because the entry wasn’t ideal.  As we push higher to a few of the -POIs I have on my chart, I reanalyze my setup to see if it’s still valid later on.  I didn’t follow a good exit plan on the trades and got a bit frustrated with just how the morning started so I scratched my trades to walk away from the screen.  While I was away the trade did play out as expected.  I will leave the charts alone for the rest of the day at this point.
