jasinhbca's quest for discipline, knowledge & profits

You bet



Tomorrow's a new day

Tonight..., get some rest - clear the noggin



Tomorrow - take it 1 trade at a time

Make a plan for each - then follow it through to exit

Stay detached..., patient..., and keep the thoughts quieted

Thanks for the encouragement JS.

Yeah I noticed there were missing charts in my journal. :mad: I was looking for something the other day. i'll contact a mod when I get some time.

Let me know if I can be of any help to you (but just remember the source)

Yeah..., we (collective we) made individual methodologies (but like you said the charts are toast)

Now..., we (collective we) are forging individual traders


They (J and Slugar) are doing the heavy lifting..., me - I'm hangin out drinkin beer (being the lazy ass redneck I am)

You're creating your method now - but soon will be enjoying this same mental mind fuck (already had a taste)

it is a bitch - but it is also conquerable


And to think we do this of our own free will - what in the hell does that say about us

F me runnin

I'm only beginning to see the truth that it's 97% psychological, 3% mechanical.

Hey Traders,

Like many i feel I'm close to becoming a more consistent , profitable trader.

Still, i can't quite make it over the hurdle.

Currently I'm live day trading the NQ but may go back to sim if results don't pick up soon.

Hopefully with this journal and the help of the other ET'ers i can log what it takes to become profitable.

Maybe it's just more screen time. I don't know.

My current goals are to:

1. continue to have patience in trade selection

2. complete my trade worksheets plans which will track my entries, exits and mistakes

3. Review the days chart to increase my knowledge of PA and better understand my entries. The better I understand my entries and exits the less hesitation on execution I hope to have.

4. Hold my winners longer

5. Remember to treat each trade independently. Sometimes I'm taking quick profits just to get back to even for the day despite PA to the contrary.

I'll soon post some charts.

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


It ceases - only when you stop allowing it

Make tomorrow different

A bit better today but still down a couple points. Forced a few trades to fit my set up criteria. Not good. Forced myself to hold trades a bit longer. Lately I've exited too soon on trades ; taking a loss when I should have held or exiting a winner too soon. Today just wanted to intentionally try something different. Ended up with a couple losses bigger than normal and a winner bigger than normal. Mentally it was a good exercise.

Tomorrow - more patience on entering, more patience with winners, cut the losers sooner.

I can do this.
