As much as I hate to say it, i'm not going to be trading tomorrow. Reason being, I'm not getting rewarded for all the hard work and time I put into studying the market. I'm nailing majority of my trade plans and have been on the right path majority of the time but I'm having trouble executing my entry plan and trusting myself. Part of it is because I don't want to be wrong and I often wait for the stock to confirm it's direction before buying it. But by the time that happens, my r/r isn't worth it and i'll often get angry I didn't take the trade when the opportunity was there so i'll end up longing it when the move is pretty much over, resulting in a lot of small losses. So for tomorrow, this weekend, and probably Monday, I'm going to be focusing on changing my trader mindset, Realize what I'm doing wrong and how to better myself so I can start to reap the rewards from trading. Personal development and time management are 2 other crafts I'll be looking to critique as well. I'm really trying to get rid of all the "lag time" I spend in between tasks like snap chatting or posting insta pics. Success is only a block away.
Back on the paper... No different from practice when you needed to clean your game up.I had this same problem... not repping the entry but more diversifying my game by repping the stop loss. I got used to accepting that there will be risk and how to prevent it from being not worth the reward of netting that big trade... Your hard work is noticed.
Yup, back to the paper for now... Thanks for the insight!
