OptionFool: WHAT IF your life is just beginning? Who knows how long any of us have here? If I could make one suggestion, take some time to consider how you can serve others.

Being able to work yourself out of a hole is a confidence builder for sure so you can add that to your "mental highlight reel" when you need a reminder that you can do this. What's up with the 3 hours sleep? LOL! I have some trading hypnosis audio that I use during the middle of the day when...

Hopefully you can find time to read it and it will provide some perspective. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and my hope is that you find meaning even in these challenging times.

One other idea -- ever try recording your trading? I use OBS Studio software to capture my screen and to record my ideas and thoughts (speaking out loud).

Keep the good work. Sounds like "trying not" to take aggressive entries is really just focusing on your main set-ups.

You ever read the book "Man's Search for Meaning" by Dr. Viktor Frankl?

For the features I needed, Trademetria was at a better price point. I use the pro version which is $210/year. The broker import is all external based (meaning you export a file from your broker and then import it or do a copy and paste). Some of the other options I explored required your...

For what it's worth, I use Trademetria for recording trades, analytics, etc. You can even post all your journal stuff in there.

Traderking: What time frames are you trading?

Keep up the good work. A couple of other suggestions: I try to minimize the negative feeling descriptions. I know you felt frustrated but it's better to talk about it as a feeling rather than "I am frustrated." You are NOT your feelings. So saying something like "I felt frustrated as the...

Thanks for sharing. As someone who is involved with mindset / mental performance coaching, you might want to consider the language you use in your journal. I wouldn't say what you did "wrong." Maybe rephrase it as areas that need work / improvement because you want to focus on what you want...

I think the key is to get into the inverses before the selling occurs or right when it starts. Once the selling accelerates, it can often be too late to get in because of the risk of whipsaws and bounces.

This means we have more upside in Nasdaq 100.

I don't necessarily disagree with some of your conclusions, but as a trader, it's not really useful information because it's "fathomable." So the next question to ask is where is the opportunity here that no one has figured out yet?
