Plan for Next Week

I have only one open trade right now, and a small one at that. Which means I have room to open some more trades next week.

One way to look at this week's routine trades that closed is that I planted an idea and waited for it to sprout in a couple of weeks.

Statistically, if I plant more such ideas, most will be fine, and some would be bad. As long as you weed and prune the bad ones out, they end up not hurting the good ones. Now, stack more good ones, and you end up making some decent money.

Thanks for following along - see you next week!
