Day 16 While I'm dealing with "making more money" issue I've been very good at not making the same mistakes. Was trading well today, followed my rules. +130

I agree with you deaddog. It's not the losses that upset me but inability to make more money and move to a new level.

RN, you hit it right there - I WANT Rhome to be build in one day at this point. You see I've been trading since 2003. And though I haven't had a losing year (several break even a the beginning) I never made more than 40K a year (also unfortunately I didn't trade during 08-09 high volatility...

Thanks bone. I’m still working on my self-sabotage issue, I think I'm getting better, at least I'm aware of it. Seems like this is not something I can fix overnight.

Oh yes, those last couple of cents before my target are the hardest. I usually don't even try to get it anymore, as soon as price stalls near my target I'm out. Though today I was trying to get 2c more from EK and ended up getting out at b/e…

Thank you NoDoji for your comments and the link. After glancing at it I can say that my approach is very similar but I think I overcomplicated things a bit lately. I'll read the whole thing tonight.

Thank you RN, glad you are writing back in my journal. Your comments are always welcome here.

Day 12 Some worked, some didn't today. It's not that easy to get adjusted to trading without stops as my mind is so used to trade with tight stops. What helps, I'm writing as I go in my journal, it's a nice outlet for my emotions and keeps me focused on execution. -105 +5962 month
