Interesting seeing how other traders trade. I can say with great certainty I would not fare well trying to emulate any of them. You have to develop your own style that fits you.

Hi wrbtrader, Interesting question. Yes, my most important journal is a hand written one. That one, I have very specific information. I utilize ET to do recaps with broad strokes. My written one, has lots of highlights, notes in margins, ideas, theories, etc. It is where I write the stocks...

Well the last line says crypto "I need it for trading crypto on Binance Futures."

Review the prior week. Prepare for the week ahead. Like others mentioned, do other things. It can help to disengage from the markets.

Maybe an algo but I think you are pretty limited to the trading platform that Binance provides.

December update: Monetarily, it was my best month since trading again in 2020. I outdid March, however, that month was shortened as I started part way through. Learned plenty of lessons and developed a few more strategies that tend to work in this environment. No question, there is froth in...

Don't think so, and probably because the risk for slippage is very real. Some symbols have massive spreads after hours.

November has just 1 day left, time for an update. Been quite the rollercoaster the last 6+ weeks. I took a big hit doing something that I should not have. I swung a position on sympathy rather than any technical analysis. The stock was in a downtrend. Mix in with that, leaving one job...

I've decided to switch to monthly updates rather than weekly. Will try that for a while.

Thanks! The mental aspect of trading is huge. I've been constantly experimenting with new ideas based on observations. Feels like it has been one big lab experiment. The biggest mental shift to date has been to have proper stop outs. Trading too tight results in getting out too soon. This...

Submitted my resignation. One more week at day job. Will start a part time job that I can do from home as a second income. This week was stressful. I added a component to my trading that is useful yet harmful. I have lifetime memberships to 3 trading chat rooms. I've decided to stop logging in...

Another weekend is upon us. The month ended mid week. Able to make some gains to finish out a moderate month. It was just slightly down from the previous month, yes pretty consistent to the 4 month avg. It felt like the toughest month though. Had to really battle it out. The new month started...

I had meant to post a picture of my trading setup for a while. Attached you'll find it. It's from a couple weeks ago early morning. An acquaintance was curious. I think he was a little surprised. --------- In the midst of my weekend review. The last two weeks have been tough. I've still come...

It was a week to forget (but I won't) I decided to break the no-look-at-PnL game. Much like an Aztrazenica vaccine trial with bad results, I had to end the no PnL experiment early. Overall the month is going OK. 8 days left to make a push. I trade better when I focus on base hits. I got too...

Not a great week. Lot of distraction. Was a strong start to the week. Didn't trade much on Friday as I felt that I had zero edge. Good to have the weekend completely away from the markets to reset. I am rethinking the whole 'not look at pnl' to checking once a week for review purposes. I...

Didn't look at PNL once for the whole week. The idea to not look at it for the whole month. I'm more focused on the process itself rather than whether consciously or subconsciously trading based on PNL. Had to eat a decent loss on a technical glitch with the broker. (it's a discount broker...

Rough week, barely scratched green. Really due to one horrendous day. Too big, too loose, adding to position, all contributed to the losses. This week I will get back to my style of trading. I was also jumping on trades that clearly were not my own and not within my zone of preference. I was...

Yes, you are quite right. Was looking for it on a standalone basis. Thanks!

Robert is better.

I could see that. The following candles would provide more info, for sure.
