I went long at 3068, planning to cut losses at 3088. I was originally hoping to catch a bigger profit swing, but the market didn't cooperate and went straight through my stop loss. No way around it—a 20-point loss is just tuition fees.

Now I'm in cash and taking a break. Not trading over the weekend, giving my mindset a vacation too. The feeling of having no open positions is actually quite comfortable—no need to stare at charts or obsess over price action. These two days are charging time; I'll be ready to make moves again next week. Sometimes the best trade is knowing when it's time to rest.
