Notes about Today:
- 10am po3 did not deliver anything for 15m pda, there was a 5m with 15 CISD setup, but I did not take it and actually I was thinking of going short rather than long. A part of me ignored the general market structure, and I think because we’re inside of this NWOG, that’s why I got slightly confused.
- For 2pm, po3 did not deliver a proper A+ distribution trade, but I did catch this long in the macro. 4h was looking bearish, we had OBs- to the upside, I anticipated for price to manipulate to the upside, so I took a trade based on 1m inversion and SMT with ES. Feels like a momentum trade.
- Mentally, I think I performed okay. Some FOMO is definitely kicking in, as we’re about to close a month and I still haven’t made the progress I’d like to see. But it’s okay, it will take some time to build up confidence in my trade setups and that’s exactly why I’m still not upsizing the amount of contracts I trade. I stick to max 5.
- I probably shouldn’t be setting up expectations for myself for the month to get rid of these rushing thoughts, but I feel like I am so close to being genuinely consistent, and the one thing that’s stopping me is fear during trades, and slight impatience which now doesn't force me to enter stupid trades, but rather let my emotions come out. I need to just accept the reality of this. I only trade when my setup is present. Period. When the setup is there, set your trade up, set proper stop and tp, and let it ride. Do not give it any thought. Keep it mechanical, let the market do its thing and stop letting your thoughts and emotions influence the decisions you make. You know your model works. There’s no need for thoughts to get in the way. We will win, we will lose, but in the end, the model works and we will be taking home more than we lose. That’s the most important thing that I need to remember.
