I am a 10 month old trader. I've been struggling with my trading skills lately, so I recently started keeping a trading journal and realized that I don't have much of a basis for my entries. What should I do to overcome this?
You must outgrow your lack of competence.
The first element to being consistent, is being
consistent in a trading approach.
An approach that follows effective market analysis
that gives you an idea where the market is going
directionally, and that helps you stay in sync
with the AI-driven algorithms that's driving price.
Growth in essential knowledge is a necessity
and starts with trading education. All of which
is an invaluable foundation and framework
for trading plan development.
The trading game is a transfer of wealth from the
uninformed to the informed who've learned how to
capitalize their knowledge of institutional order flow,
market imbalance, risk management, etc etc.
RULE #1 Stay away from gamblers (the uninformed)
RULE#2 Learn everything (leave no stone unturned)
RULE#3 Find and follow a competent trading Mentor
To your trading success.
