Recently, I've had some problems with my exit mojo. Seriously, I've had problems with that for the past 3 trading days. So I've decided I should work on it by doing the following:
1. Scalp my ass off.
2. 2 Consecutive Losses and I would re-evaluate the charts.
3. No Gann or Indicators. Just plain blank bar charts.
4. Limit each losing trade to 1.00. If I exceed this, I would have to do push ups.
5. Trade 1 contract.
Well, the results were pretty good, or at least better than I expected. I made 9 handles on NQ. Execution is very hard doing this. I did have to adjust my entry mojo and exit mojo (well, exits are pretty much automatic).
I also had to adjust my mind to take profits rather than let it run (This is reverse from a beginner... LOL...). This profit-taking mindset was hard to build. But I managed to do it. I think it was because I was doing such a small contract of 1. It was easy on my mind than my regular position size.
I will be abandoning Gann for a while for my trading also. It is the basis of my analysis but I maybe relying too much on it these days. I'm really not building myself as a trader, but building myself as a Gann Analyst (Don't you just hate the word "Analyst"?)
I'm thinking this will build myself to a higher level to be able to trade without Gann or any technical indicator.
Well, good luck trading all...
