My Trading Journey - Thoughts, Ramblings, Live trades

Adam grimes free course is absolute money. I'm sure you made notes around picking one or "maybe" two signals, and then going to town with studying, testing, and writing your approach/methodology down.

It sounds like you listened to the program, but you need to DO the program.

You sound like I used to 2 years ago. A kid in candy shop.

You got this but you really need an approach. I highly reccomend Douglas TIZ as well for your psych journal. This all assumes you have a plan/approach/method.

I read the Adam Grimes book, have not checked out the online course. My methodology is coming along quite well at this point its just hard for me to take every signal in a timely manner .

I read the Mark Douglas book when I was starting out, Time for a re-read. I basically make every text book psychology mistake in the book. In fact thank you for the reminder, I will read his rules about the market and mistakes to avoid everyday before starting.

Right. So those mistakes you make come from inoperative beliefs about the market.

I listen to the book on tape almost monthly. It's on the iPhone, not on tape.

Wish you the best.

Here are some annotated charts since May 31st. The two sloppy days were a bit of a mess. The r/r figures were my initial stop and targets but I never really achieve them because I cut my trades short.

Had some personal issues last 2 weeks as well. Costly car repairs and relationship issues so obviously not great for trading mindset.

You are making the same mistake I have been making but hopefully
have stopped. Namely, why were you short ES on Friday? I think there
was no question that the bias for the day had to be long. Then when ES
started falling and NQ tanked, you needed to not make trades.
Although, A good trader (not me) I think would have been able to
change bias and short ES into NQ tanking. I think my improvement is not
trading unless I am really confident of the bias for the day.
