Seeking PERFECTION


1) -5

I should not take personal phone calls during trading hours.

I shall not waste time browsing online.

Ignore the less revenue generating areas and focus on the only and only thing that matters.

I didn't summarize the day's activities.

I didn't prepare in advance for the next market session.

I must focus on the market, completely and fully. I cannot waste time on the phone or browsing online. I must execute on the task at hand. I must prepare for the next session in advance.

2) -3

I wasn't early.

I was late to my setup.

I had to leave early for prior commitments.

I must be early in the office. I must setup and ready to go way before the opening hours. I must grind it out, no time for outside commitments. I must focus on the sole goal, the one and only one goal.
 
Quote from 1a2b3cppp:

There are a few more:

Jack Hershey
Prof Logic
TRO

I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple.

Some dude used to PM me a few years back and kept trying to teach me how to trade if I paid him a few thousand dollars. I forgot who it was cuz I deleted the PMs.
Why are you slamming TRO? While I have similar disagreements, he's insightful and spending good time sharing posts with people who need it.

In this business, you make billions, or you go broke. There is no in-between.

RIPLEY - I do nearly the same thing. Thanks for sharing :cool:.
 
I'm curious, I just briefly read through this journal.

I see in May of last year you were up 7% and said you were going to start getting into cash before the end of June. Had you followed this hypothesis you would have done brilliantly and looked like the smartest guy in the room.

What made you change your mind?
 
To DREAM

Everything in life begins with a dream. A simple, innocent, something not so foreboding, something innocuous.

You must dream great dreams. You must dream proudly, and boldly.

But, dreaming is just not enough though, there is a second part to the equation. We'll save that for later.
