Choppy Trading and Mentality

[Robert Morse]

Of course you can't actually do that.

You have to in order to stand the test of time.

Thank you for the details. May I ask what software you use?

Currently thinkorswim but I’m looking into ninja trader or ATAS order flow for the execution.

I talked to tech support and Mac OS is control F not command F. So in this case it was user error.

Do you need to wander? Either position size for 50% loss or just understand it's part of the game you are playing and is completely normal/acceptable. No keys will save you from fleeting liquidity.

Recently I incurred a big loss (10/17/18) because my stop gotten blown away. This has really hindered my mentality as a trader. On friday, I decided to do some paper trading because I wasn't "in the zone". I still incurred losses and a few gains, but my trading mentality of bringing my "A game" isn't there, so how long will it take for my edge and mentality to come back?

If you're mentally struggling with a personal event in your life...that could be why you incurred a big loss on 10/17/18.

Dig deep into yourself to determine if something outside of trading is impacting your "A game" as you called it. Next, resolve the problem prior to returning to trading.

It took the weekend, but I have since learned. The snip-bit of a quote I have in my trading journal is “fail forward”
