Emotions in trading

Recover Drawdown within 1 to 2 days.

The drawdown ends when it ends, you cant force it or expect it to end within 1 or 2 days.

I just trade however I want to and what I feel and take my best guess and try to win.

Hello deaddog,

I'll be a millionaire ES trader by December 2023. That's my goal.

I like that you have a very specific goal.
1 million by December 2023.
Here are the 5 criteria for a smart goal
Specific (Be a millionaire ES trader by Dec 2023)
Measurable (Yup either you have a million or you don't)
Achievable (I don't see why not)
Realistic ( That's up to you to decide.)
Time bound (Dec 2023 is creeping up on us)

What you need are measurable goals along the way.

Yeah I can see that. Looks like you got the consistent part going for you, you've been at it quite a while and still losing.
So what ever it is you are doing isn't working!! Stop Doing It!!
Do something you've never done before.
The worse that can happen is that you lose money and you're doing that now.

lol, got a shortcut for that?

Going up against the best and brightest, in an industry that demands high performance, only a fool “don’t want to work, wants shortcuts.”

Here’s the best shortcut; “there are no shortcuts.”

Every path will extract its own “pound of flesh” - whether it’s paid upfront or on the road to ruin, dues will be paid.

A short cut for losing money? You bet. Trade with a plan!!

But I prefer the system way of things.
Improve your journey, little by little.
It's a marathon, not a sprint.
The power of habits !

"We get what we deserve"
True most of the time I believe ...
Do we even have the requirements ?

Luck plays a big role but our character is everything else.
Worse is letting opportunities fade away.
Cutting our winners short ^^

Or looking for troubles ...
Taking irrational risk for nothing.

The best way for something to happen,
Is to make its non occurrence the most unlikely.

Make an offer he / she can't refuses.
Obvious, Attractive, Easy and Rewarding.

Well you gotta admit SML has an audacious objective.

Good starting point, indeed !
Now he has to work on the system,
That will ultimately get him closer to his goal.

Hello deaddog,

I have one measurable goal and that is: win everyday, $ 1 million dollars by end of the year as ES a trader.

what other goal does a trader need to have?

No need to make things complicated. Trade the market and win everyday

I am not sure why us traders is even talking about this subject, is this not every ES future trader goals and reason for trading?

lol, I am in the wrong business if I can not make $1 million or more or year trading the ES future market.
