Go market go, Romik needs some steak and his baby needs a new pair of shoes...How's that.

You guys in England do wear shoes don't you? Oh yeah that is Alabama that doesn't wear shoes...

Quote from brightstone:

May I recommend keeping a trade report for every trade you are making. That way you can confirm what you are actually getting returns on. I record strategy, time in trade, with comparitive indicators to check if I was making a trade on hope or a trade on information presented in front of me. It helps remove the emotion from my trade and I am seeing more on my charts. One huge improvement has been more wins and the ability to discern my trade patters. No more boredom trades.

This also showed me that my skills are improving which was reverse of what I was thinking. I thought I was trading more and getting worse. The written records actually showed that I was improving. Trading less, loosing a lot less % wise.

This is where my discipline breaks down. I look at my monthly statement just so I can know when to compound my contracts and that is about all. I do too much admin with my company and just get lazy about it with trading. I used to keep a journal and all that but I quit doing it a while ago. I have always been good with numbers so I usually keep count of things in my head. At least close enough for me. The only reason I was able to detail my option trades for Romik was that options xpress just makes it very easy to do.
 
If this works you guys owe me a steak dinner. Especially since I probably won't get a trade in today.I might be hungry by tomorrow.
 
I must point out that this is similar action to last time when I decided to exit at entry and made a mistake and will stop interfering with the system, though I am just trading 1 lot right now based on range charts, so I have no idea on probability, will stay in the trade until stopped out, going long will depend on reaching 1304.00 @ bid. testing here. No trades based on my main system so far.
 
i find m written record keeps it less biased. I review my statements but can't remember what I used or the condition of the trades.

I look over the write ups on the losses and it really stands out that I made a bad trade (loss) it also shows me when I made a bad trade and was lucky.

the key is I get an accurate reflection that I won't adjust for today's mood.

When I skip writing it up, I see my trading get a little sloppy.

Looks like a burger night tonight as we rest again on the 1300

There just isn't any volume at all today. I was yelling and screaming trying to wake up some traders but I think they rolled over and went back to sleep. Maybe they had too much to drink when they went out for lunch today
