Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)

  • Feeling okay

Focus Points for trading development

  • Monthly Goals
    • No momentum trades on Non-Farm Fridays
    • Total of 13 trades by the end of the month
  • Weekly Goal
    • Min. 3 times working out at home + mandatory cardio
    • Use SL scaling in case the profit target for the setup doesn’t provide 2R for example for FA or VAA setups
  • Risk Management
    • Without forcing a trade: aim to take 1 trade a day, if possible 2. 
    • Capital Preservation during drawdown allows for 1R profit-taking
    • 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
