The number one thing that I have learned about trading is disciplined risk management. Risk Management is one of the few things that a Trader can control. This is one thing that I have not been very good at and its time to get better! This journal will track how well I control risk over the next 60 trading days. My Daily loss limit is 200 Euros and I will only add to positions that are positive after a positive signal. 200 Euros is 1.3% of my account. Although my main focus will be risk, I will also track my execution performance. Some house keeping about when, how, and what Ill trade. My workdays are Mo - Wed 0800 1200 CET and Thur Fri 1300 1700 CET and may change depending on events. This way I split the day with my wife, who is also working from home. My method is discretionary. Ill focus on the Mini-DAX futures though I might peak at other instruments in the afternoon. My goal is to get the main swing of the time frame that Im trading and, if possible, get in to a larger swing trade. Enough house keeping, lets begin!
