    what worked today--open drive search (system returned "semi": "long" and "energy": "short); 60m cycle models; monday night W1 plans;
    what did not work--mindset (distracted by work all day); identified some gaps in my model (conditions not clearly defined); not enough hours in the day

    haven't posted chart markup exercises for a few sessions, mainly because:
    ....workflow change: as my personal trading style evolves, my processes update to serve my goals better. i build my daily deck as i work through the session--focusing on building out a playbook library, collecting stats, and refining algo. my slides are rough around the edges--not enough time to polish them, as long as i understand what i was trying to document and the action/to-do items, I'm ok with that.
    ....tbh i have moved on from copy+pasting the exact styles of my book/online mentors, i don't find the old exercises the most value-adding especially given my time constraint.
    ....top of mind this month/this quarter: stress testing my system.

    good trading all.
