I have struggled with trading for many years and somehow keep at it. Today I seem renewed to progress again with even more drive. I have been reading a lot of positive articles that have opened my eyes to who I am and who I wish to become. I have realized that I can not change yesterday or many days before that. I can only make today and the days to follow what I wish them to be. Youtube can be very helpful it creating positive thinking, thoughts to think about, and challenges to make me who I wish to be. Bruce Lipton, Marisa Peer, Robin Dayne are a few of the current inspirations at the moment. I have struggled with trading mostly from the mental issues of my past. but rather than dig deep and try to dig them out I seem to be ok with just realizing that the past was- but it is not who I am today. May 16, 2019, I will not let the mental issues of my early years affect me. I have moved on. The Phil of his youth is no longer. I am now an adult. I will no longer be influenced by the moments of my youth. I take control of who I am. Fear will no longer hold me back from my goals and my dreams. Today I am making a stand to be who I wish to be. My parents years of influences no longer will prevent me from being who I wish to be. When I feel fear I will be aware of it, but I will not let it control me I will do what I need to mentally or physically do to achieve my goals. My fears have controlled me long enough. I am disciplined enough to prevent myself from getting hurt mentally or physically. My fear is under my control not I under its.
I have designed a simple trading plan that will allow me to work on my fear issue of taking trades. the second phase will allow me to work on holding for longer targets. I am aware of how a pro would trade but I need to build up to that level of discipline At the moment I am leaning towards connecting with Robin Dayne to help speed up this process towards becoming a professional trader. As efforts on my own have gotten me nowhere
I have created a simple chart that will allow me to see trade entry signals with more of a black and white, green light/red light, stop/go nature. The indicator will allow for the price to be seen as short or long direction and taking away a lot of the guessing that sup.res entry methods tend to produce in my mind. This chart/indicator set up also allows for scaling out for a quick scalp of 1.5 t-2 pts and then letting a runner take advantage of the bigger swings needed to make up for the smaller losses. 3 lots would take advantage of the current big swings market is now having. within the time frame, I have chosen to trade.
Today trades
While I am aware that today holding on to the first trade would have given me more confidence than I could probably handle. I seem content to have just pushed the button when I (saw) the signal to do so. That is a big step forward for me.
