you need to make a so called power nap, but not longer than 25-30 minutes, so that you don't fall into deeper sleep phases. if you really want to trade 24/7, check out uberman sleep pattern (aka polyphasic sleep).

fees and commissions... they are making quite some money from your trading. nice to see that you trade consistently with success 101 vs 202. does this mean that you trade 2 contracts every time? you trade the DOW only?

reversal on what timeframe/in what direction? may add to the above: there were several opportunities to manage and rescue the position - but at some point you lose confidence and will power, and hestitate - and the opportunity is gone. problem.

Carpe diem: Intraday tactics for Dax and Dow

DAX Futures June 2020

DAX Futures June 2020

thanks for your reflections. don't know about S&P too well, its behavior. i mean what corresponds to 25k in dow. this crisis might be coming to an end now. we were lucky in germany, i must say..

DAX Futures June 2020
