Welcome to Blackbay Price Action Trading Journal
I’m a trader documenting my journey trading the S&P 500 ES Futures using pure price action.
I started with Mack’s PATS (Price Action Trading System) and over time evolved toward a more Al Brooks–style approach — focusing on context, 5-minute setups, and holding for larger targets instead of quick scalps.
This site is where I share my daily trading insights, lessons learned, and the tools and setups I rely on as I keep refining my edge in the market.
I focus on discipline, patience, and high-probability setups — executed with precision across 20 Apex Performance Accounts and 5 Take Profit Trader (TPT) PA Accounts.
Every trade I take, every mistake I make, and every insight I gain is part of a bigger goal: to grow as a trader, one day at a time.
Here you’ll find real trade reviews, missed-trade reflections, and an honest look at what it takes to build consistency in futures trading. I don’t sell signals or shortcuts — just a raw, transparent view of what it’s like to trade professionally using a structured, price-action-based system.
Whether you’re studying price action trading, working through evaluation accounts, or looking for a grounded perspective on a trader’s evolution — you’re in the right place.
