  3. First of all I´m very glad that the first week worked good for me with around 17 ES points.
    My main goal with this journal is to create a kind of positive pressure on myself. I have to explain every trade and so its much harder to do stupid impulse trades.
    I´m glad that it seems the pressure works good for me.

    But this is just a very micro timeframe view and we will talk again in a few month :)

    I will add two things in the next week:

    A snapshot of my exectution page (wanted to do it for the last journal but its not possible to log on to the IB account over the weekend)
    I want to build a database which differentiates the trading setups with the usual codes in order to have a better view which setups work nice and which one not.

    Have a nice weekend all and good trading next week !!

  4. Way to go wannabe!

    How do you feel about the fact that if you could repeat this week's performance every week you would be a millionaire in a few months time?

  5. Well, I dont even think about it because I believe in the nature of cycles. I had a very good week. Its surely possible I could another good week and a few solid month but the payback cycle will start sooner or later.
    And how I will be able to handel this season will show if I will be able reach a state of a pro someday or if I will be a wannabe for the rest of my trading life.

  7. I told you that if you get yourself a copy of Lotus Approach -- you can use my database and we can customize it for you...

    Its so much easier to trade in the direction of the trend with the overall momentum in the back.

    Yes I have to admit I didnt reinvent the wheel with this sentence. Maybe I should have listen closer to the good old "the trend is your friend" :)
