DAY 1 Trading Summary — Thursday, 1st October 2026
I took 5 trade positions today across GBPUSD, US100 and EURUSD.
GBPUSD: 3 positions — all losses
US100: 1 position — loss
EURUSD: 1 position — win
Total positions = 5
Result = -$199.64 (-1.99%)
Account Balance = $9,800.36
Win Rate = 20%
Comment:
Today wasn't the result I was looking for. The main damage came from the GBPUSD trades, while the EURUSD position was the only profitable trade. I still remained within the FTMO risk limits, with the maximum daily loss and maximum loss objectives both intact.
Observation:
The biggest thing I'm taking from today is that being wrong on a setup is normal, but allowing multiple losing positions to build up can quickly affect the account. I need to be more selective with my entries and make sure the risk on each setup is appropriate before entering.
Day 1 result: -$199.64 (-1.99%) | 5 trades | 20% win rate | Risk limits maintained.
