17-Sept:
Mixed week. Initial gains for open trades ended up reversing into losses.

Weekly Result - 2 wins, 5 losses (mostly from winning position)

It's becoming apparent that portfolio is bias towards long trades in strong uptrends.

Action:
Review of SLTPs
Improve short trades - Target to generate 10xEAs for demo this week
