This was a hard week for both my strategy and the overall market. I had a positive start to the week when my GAS position was closed for +$163. However, every day since has been tough. I got stopped out of my positions on both NEM and APOL for a combined loss of $200.
This week I also increased my max loss per trade from $100 to $125. This represents roughly .5% of my account balance at risk per trade.

In my first week of trading this strategy with real money, I only placed 3 trades. I am being extra cautious with my Risk Management. I am utilizing a $100 max loss on a $25,000 starting balance. This means each trade is only risking .4% of my trading capital. After I gain more confidence in this strategy, I will increase my max loss per trade.
GAS: Purchased 192 shares at $38.82, stop $38.29
