Training Day 19

Kevlar, bullets & batteries checked and ready...
08:23 T-Minus 7...weapons live...head on swivel...eyes peeled...prepared to engage.

Trade #104
08:30 Long on valid setup. Win or lose, it's irrelevant. Record the trade, watch it, and learn...
Entering at the open again. I DO NOT like this. FOCUS SCRUB!
T1 and T2 are the same.
08:34 Objective achieved. +12 ticks.
Record results, stabilize/regroup, and prepare for the next assault. Focus only on the task at hand.

Trade #105
08:43 Long on valid setup. Win or lose, it's irrelevant. Record the trade, watch it, and learn...
T1 and T2 are the same.
08:48 No Joy. -10 ticks.
Record results, stabilize/regroup, and prepare for the next assault. Focus only on the task at hand.

Trade #106
09:13 Long on valid setup. Win or lose, it's irrelevant. Record the trade, watch it, and learn...
T1 and T2 are the same.
09:23 Feeling the need for this one to work out. Feeling some fear. Get your head back in the mission! The outcome of this trade is MEANINGLESS! Focus on the long-term recruit! Push through this pain so you can gain the victory later!
09:45 No Joy. -10 ticks.
Record results, stabilize/regroup, and prepare for the next assault. Focus only on the task at hand.

Trade #107

12:31 No Joy. -10 ticks.
Record results, stabilize/regroup, and prepare for the next assault. Focus only on the task at hand.

Trade #109
13:09 Long on valid setup. Win or lose, it's irrelevant. Record the trade, watch it, and learn...
T1 and T2 are the same.
13:19 No Joy. -10 ticks.
Record results.

Excess losses sustained. Pack up and retreat back to camp.
13:29 Finished for the day due to loss limit rules. One more loss would put me well beyond my intraday loss limit level, so I have to stop for the day.

AAR
  • Objective: Follow mission plan with extreme prejudice.
  • Outcome: I started with my 2-car phase today. I took all setups and held them per my plan. I stayed true to my loss limit rules. Mission was accomplished.
  • Observations: I was much more focused on the outcomes of trades today than I was on the execution of my plan. I was feeling a lot of my old feelings about missing out, being wrong, etc. General confidence was lacking. I'll be working on my attitude and the focus of my thoughts between now and tomorrow.

Take pride in being able to stop trading on a day when it just does not work out for you...for that alone, I say good job!
