jasinhbca's quest for discipline, knowledge & profits

Not a great day.

My self talk through out the day is one that reminds me to stay calm, patient and to let go of frustration. It has been developed through practice and self awareness and has helped my results significantly. But I also need a self-talk routine that says "WTF, stop doing that !!" Poor trade management today, not following plan.

+16 ticks but should have been much more. The rats won this day by a mile.

Letting go of my frustration and back again tomorrow ready to follow plan; win ,lose or draw. This stupidity has to end.
After you done 10,000 trades, five minutes after you get done, you won't even remember the day. Any positive day is a good day, start training yourself in being profitable each day, like other day you pulled yourself out of a hole, awesome day.
 
Yesterday pretty much beat out of me the thought of raising my targets. I knew today I would strictly follow the plan. Resigning myself to only 15 ticks I felt a sense of , IDK, loss of control, loss of hope for a big win ? Well, anyway. I can adjust later . For now it's just creating discipline and following a plan that I know makes money.

Excellent, calm focused trading today. Nearing rollover makes me cautious. A fair amount of chop today that I avoided. Only 3 trades but all winners which means, of course, +45 ticks. Today I was proud to be a rat. :)

I'm not trading tomorrow. Heading out of town for a couple nights, leaving in the a.m.

For the week + 39 CL ticks and +5.25 NQ pts. Lots of trades this week so only about $ 265 net. But green is good.

I absolutely plan on better discipline next week. Part of me thinks , I hope I can do it and part of me knows I will.

So you not using any discipline and you made money for the week? We both know you are maxing out on each day of staying focused on discipline, but you want to learn to accept more of what your Trading Plan shows to have worked in past cause the guy you hired to trade the plan is lousing it up of what you should be making, Right? One guy made the plan and different one is trading it, one who trading it can't talk to the Planner till market is over for the day. Try thinking of it that way.

You were profitable, go have relaxing time off. :)

Excellent, calm focused trading today.

Nearing rollover makes me cautious.

I think I reached my final point of disgust yesterday. Thanks, RN.
Oh, no, I can assure you will have plenty more ahead of you, just cause you get to be consistently profitable, there be many times where you do something and get disgusted with trading. Wait till it gets to be a job. lol

At some point.., I trust..., you'll know

When you get to the that point - is when you'll be fed up..., and change

Because there will be absolutely no other option remaining (other than quitting of course)

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

Presently you're in between and betwixt trading the right way..., and reverting to the old ways

That vast desolate expanse between knowing the right thing..., and actually doing the right thing

Many know it.., and can even recite it chapter and verse

Traders do it

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

Eagerly waiting for that day when you know
