Db no I did not take the long at 9:48, I was taking some phone calls this morning that were unavoidable. Which is a lesson on how important an uninterrupted work area is.
The last week for the most part has been much better, not for any new information but how I am approaching the open. I'm grateful for the post on keeping a journal I knew I was sliding into a place I didn't want to be , and that got my attention. I was starting to go through the motions and was starting to feel as though I had plateaued I had hoped having a journal would help me become a successful trader and if someone else gained anything of value then good for them.
Having heard Db say how important it is to get positioned at or near the open I have been trying to do that, with the results of some very good trades and a number of scratches. This is part of the reason I wanted to do Niko's scratch practice. I also thought it would help me avoid the "hope" syndrome.
