  3. Ugly week but I'll survive. I must say it sucks to put up my numbers lately, but if this journal is to have any benefit it must be consistent. See everyone on Monday and enjoy your weekend, I know I will!

    Goes on to show you are a mere mortal human being :)

    Jokes aside, frankly I am a bit (relieved) to see you having a losing week. I know I once had an amazing winning streak on 1 trade per day - daily directional view on Euro and I went on correct for something like 16/18 out of 16/18 days. Everyone around me was thinking I was some kind of crazy and it was putting incredible pressure on me to be correct again. To relieve the pressure, I just wanted to be wrong on direction of market and lose money. Sometimes its good to get a losing day/week once in a while. So no worries mate, go out on a mountain/drive trip over the weekend - do anything other than markets. Relax and come back fresh on Monday.

    AFAIK, you are at a stage that you don't need to dug in on the weekend trying to improve your plan, you already have a battle tested plan, just take a nice 1-2 day break (don't even think about trading, though even on an outside trip - your mind might divert towards your trading) and just come back Monday and trade. You will be good!

    P.S. I still have to send you something. This weekend for sure!

  8. Left my desk right before the selloff because I ran out of patience. I guess I should've expected this since NQ was near multi year highs.
