This is going to serve as my timestamp journal for clocking in. It will not have any interesting details. If I have something interesting to say, I will say it in a different journal. The purpose of this thread is to help with developing the habit of being consistently ready for trading each morning. There is no need for anyone to follow this thread. It will be boring. However, if anyone else has a difficult time with being ready to trade in the morning, maybe all the entries in journal will be encouraging for them by helping them realize that they are not the only ones facing this difficulty, and this journal will stand as proof that it is possible to overcome the difficulties. That is, unless I give up. Then it might be a discouragement to others of like-mindedness. "You'll never know unless you try," so I might as well try. Same goes with trading. I'll never know if I can be a consistently profitable trader unless I try. And that means trying the right way, not whimsically. New posts will take on this look with absolutely no analysis and absolutely no more thoughts from me. This post was an exception for writing what I'm thinking.
As I mentioned in your other thread, your punctuality is impressive. 5:25 AM CT every day? Free unlimited coffee must be offered.
Good morning! Actually, I was just setting up the thread last night to begin this morning. I live in the Pacific time zone, but I use Central Time for trading.
