While showering etc this a.m. had some self doubts and concerns about finishing the week well. Reminded myself that I do fine when patient and focused, that my system is good and if it has a loss it's not a reflection of me, and that it doesn't matter that it's Friday- it's just another day in a long series of days of trading.
Listened to a song I like on the drive in and that seemed to put me in the right mood. Once my platform was up and I'd done my pre session review I thankfully wasn't worried about performance. Had my game face on I suppose. Just calm focus at that point.
Things I'm doing right and I suppose this was my objective this week; Patience and trade rested and focused.
Things I'm doing wrong: Moving targets still. It must be some kind of control thing or lack of trust in the system. I'll think it over this weekend. It will be my objective for next week to keep those targets.
Redneck you got it in me to celebrate the victories. I think in the past I would be hesitant to do so unless I was perfectly disciplined. I think it's possible to recognize and celebrate the good things I've accomplished and at the same time work to improve the other areas. Thank you and correct me if I'm wrong. Certainly my goal is much better discipline.
First trade got 8 instead of 25, second trade got my target of 20. After that I decided my poor discipline on first trade and an unexpected overly elated outburst on second trade would make it a good time to stop.
I believe this was best week this year, shoot maybe ever, as far as PnL and more importantly my coming in rested, patient and focused.
