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
