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.

Focus, It seems to help

My wife made a comment the other day about my trading.  As I mentioned that I feel so close to making forward steps in my  trading,  but it seems out of reach still.  Then she made her comment on the very thing I was thinking about myself.  I am not focusing during the time I am to be trading.  As someone with lots of interests. I tend to be distracted while I should be just focusing on my charts.  So in the last 3 days I have made a point of only watching my charts and focusing on the price action. It has helped me a lot to see what how the market is unfolding and to wait for certain things to happen so that I may bounce on a trade that I am ready for versus the market moving around without me seeing what is happening only to be left in the dust.  I find if I write on the chart as things are happening, it keeps me focused and in tune to the market.  I must continue to do this as it makes me an active participant in trading rather than just an observer.

I am drawing in the trend lines, the HL and LH and keeping tabs on who is showing weakness. In looking for the 3-4 setups each day. I pretend I am a cautious Jackal with a broken leg rather than a strong Lion who might be tempted to take on the strong. I am looking for weak strays that I can bounce on and take bite out of their money pot.

FOCUS, FOCUS.
