jasinhbca's quest for discipline, knowledge & profits

Just finished review and technically they were within plan. I could nitpick them and say the PA was too sloppy for a long reversal or the following reverse trade going short also too sloppy to take but that's kinda of hind sighting it. Sometimes it still feels like I'm learning my set ups and other days they're as clear as day.

I think maybe it was just a day the set ups weren't working.

Gotta run, got a guitar lesson.
 
Or by chance was it a day where the PA jitters creeped into your head - and had an affect


Not accusatory - rather asking

And yeah all roads I'm thinking about lead back to disassociating yourself more

Too much thinking today. I'm trying be absolutely sure my set ups are valid. It's slowing me down and taking me out of the 'flow'. Missed one trade due to over analysis and didn't get the order in quick enough. Overall felt stiff today. A failed set up that I would normally reverse on I just froze trying to name the set up. Made a mistake and exited a trade too soon on normal PB. That would have been the best trade of the day. There is very little room for error in trading.

Emotionally felt fine. A little frustrated but was able to let go. More technical errors than emotional today. But then aren't those the same thing? Certainly on the early exit it was a poor emotional reaction.

Honestly I think the time change (day light savings) is effecting me too. Even though gained an hour it always takes me a week to adjust.

Back at it tomorrow.
 
If you read back over your last several post - you are in a loop

Break the damn thing

And quit making excuses

You fucked up - because you fucked up..., stop it


btw..., When I fuck up - its because I fucked up - period


==============

Feel free to cuss me out..., call me a prick

But once over being pissed about what I said above - fix it..., else it will never get fixed

=========================


I will not allow you to back up - either move forward..., or call it quits


You've been at this very same place before - last year tax time came along and you had an out


No outs J - fix this and move on...

Break the loop


You know how to trade - your methodology / skills are way past more than adequate

Now..., become a damn trader


Your prick of a friend

J I'm not an expert by any means but it really helped me last week I told RN I didn't know if I was cut out for this and he told me it was my decision I decided to keep trying because I had not really followed my plan . I knew my plan made money so I concentrated on keeping my losses small and it has helped me tremendously . I know I still need to work on my entries and letting my winners run but now that I trust myself to cut my losses its been a lot less stressful.

LOL. Of course I'm not pissed at you for offering an honest opinion and tons of advice, help and patience.

And you're right I fucked up. I know that.

There's no quitting so I will have to move forward.

Geezus, it's just patience and objective focus. I can do that.

Thanks RN.

Your struggling trader of a friend, soon to be consistent trader of a friend,

Great thread here Jas. Great of RN to be so helpful. I just wanted to encourage you. I read something a while back in this thread from RN, who stated something along the lines of "it's time you walk right up to the edge of that cliff, knowing full well there's an abyss, and trust that you won't fall into it". I'm brand spanking new here. But even noobs can encourage. You get to decide what to do, as scary and torturous as it sounds.

Sometimes in life, when we, with trust, approach something that's impossible, incomprehensible, we have to take one step forward, and die to ourselves. Your choice, and I think you'll ultimately surprise yourself, should your choice be right.

Keep on man. Or don't. But here we are.

BTW --> Where are all the damn charts around like thread 70?

Here and in SLUGARS, great conversation, about charts, that don't exist. ARGH.

thanks Slugar. Glad to hear you're making progress and sticking with it.

I'm fine at cutting losses. Too good in fact. I need to give my trades a bit more time in certain situations. It's a bad habit I need to break. I've been able to do it before(hold when I'm supposed to) but not consistent yet I guess.
