jasinhbca's quest for discipline, knowledge & profits

  1. Not perfect but better.

    Trade 2. HOD is a target. But I give it some room if PB looks 'normal' and to see if there will be continuation. Not sure that's the best strategy but that's the plan now.

    3 & 4 late entries really messed with my head.

    Then pass on trades 3 / 4....

    There will be others forthcoming

    Your state of mind is worth a hellofalot more


    To be able to let go..., you gotta let (it / them) go

  5. Thanks, RN.

    Despite some mistakes it was a good day for me in keeping mostly calm and disciplined.

    And based on the HTF comment - I get why you took 3 & 4


    Still..., please..., become okay with letting go

    Think of a miss as simply the prelude to the next signal

    Let's do-er all again tomorrow

    Trading is strictly pay for performance

    We either performing..., preparing to perform... or thinking how we could perform better

    Easy to allow it to become all consuming



    Be sure to have something equally all consuming during off hours (meditating / working out/ playing sports / hobby - like dirt biking)

    Helps clear the head / relieve stress / prepare for tip top performance when trading

  8. 6 Trades, BE.

    Kinda choppy. Opportunities were there just couldn't quite catch 'em.

  10. Overall, everything fine. If I'm being critical then the choppy bars lulled me into boredom and the perception that opportunities were limited. Something i'll watch for in myself in the future. That last trade had the possibility of being a major swing low so I could have given it more time. It was a normal PB where I exited but the choppiness made me cautious. Or I could have re-entered, thought about it, but again the choppiness gave me pause. I guess that was a mistake. Should have taken the re-entry and not try to predict. I think after 6 trades I was thinking don't get sloppy now and overtrade.

    So, to answer your question. It went well but room for improvement.
