Thank you. I appreciate that very much. Watching my recorded sessions back has been a big help to me. I see that : Market conditions + price action pattern+ momentum= High probability setups.
I'm trying to get to that level of "unconscious competence"..somewhat akin to high performance driving . Reacting without having to over analyze.
This is a vast departure from my old methods where I verbally announce the setup, checklist for adverse conditions..process everything and then agonize over taking a trade. Lately, my brain just sees it and says Go.
Exactly. That's why I can't let myself get too euphoric over my results the last few days. The markets don't move like this all the time..It's easy to have a couple of good sessions and think, "Wow, I've finally got this sh.t figured out!"
Then I think back to a week or so ago when I hit max daily drawdown three times in one week. What it's taught me is I need to wait for the ideal conditions that work for my system and not trade until they show up. If that means not trading two or three days in a row because the conditions suck, so be it.
Having said that, I see a lot of improvement in how I am entering my trades without fear or hesitation. So I am happy about that.
Thank you. Some days are easier than others. Unlike in the past where I posted mainly only my winning days..I am going to try and keep a real journal now..and post every day. So I am sure there will be some losing days. But for now, these market conditions are tailor made for me.
