I am starting a new journal because I am a completely different trader than before.
I realize now that trading is more about my personal development than it is about entries and exits.
I am 19 years old. I am currently majoring in finance at college in the US and I love to trade.
I trade the CL and 6E using a 512tk chart on Ninjatrader. I also use a 1 hour/20 day chart on ThinkorSwim to help determine major trends.
I trade using price action and stochastics.
In this thread I will be posting the trades I took as well as the set ups that I should have taken. In addition, I will be posting things I learned from my trading.
The main point of this journal is to document exactly what I am doing right and wrong. I want to be able to look through this journal and easily determine what needs to be fixed.
I will post my P/L statement for the week every week.
This is day one of my journey. This is a new chapter in my life.
Along with my trading journey, I will also be trying to improve my mental and physical health. This will also greatly enhance my trading and my life in general.
