The Monster Within Me
There is a monster within me. His name is Phil. These are the journal's that will record my battle with the monster and his attempt to keep me as a losing trader. But I will prevail and learn to control this monster within me. I will be a great trader, I will be in control of who I want to be.
I will SLAY THE MONSTER within me so that it can no longer control me and my thoughts.
By becoming an Observer of the self, I give authority to the Empowered parts, to be all I can become.

Jan 28 19

Trying to make this trading log journal a habit.  It is going to be hard I think.

Today Sim trading only confirms once again that -  moving stops is stupid, a bad idea, a good way to lose an account, a non disciplined way to trade, forming bad habits and just something, TO STOP DOING.
Just focus on taking 3 or 4 trades taking 2 pts each and call it a day for now.
What did I do today that will make me a better trader tomorrow ?
I have decided I can either find and listen to another mind coach and spent a ton of $ or just grow some balls and become a trade manager of my own account.
Having just talked to my other half about my fear of getting into trades. Well she mostly listened to me trying to get it all straight in my head- I suddenly realize that what I seem to be fearing is getting into a trade that may not be a positive experience. I think it may finally be sinking in my head that I am to just trade like a person in charge of trading a methodology that works. And be ok with (being wrong) on some trades. I feel like a alcoholic who has reached bottom and aware of what my problem is. Having looked in all kinds of other areas but avoiding the only thing that matters for now.
So what is my plan-
take 3 or 4 trades   be done before 10:00 am  and be ok with taking 10 trades win or lose. risking 2 pts per trade.  I trade my own stuff that works for me. and remind myself that I will usually be positive most days if I just Focus, Focus , Focus.
