I want to talk about something I went through on Saturday and then Sunday morning that is a good example of my habitual train of thoughts and the way I seem to typically approach things.

I had to leave for other work around 12:00 and only took one trade. I marked (in gold triangles) other spots where I thought that there might be an opportunity, but that weren’t in line with the...

My results weren’t very good, but I was back to work applying the same method as yesterday, rather than jumping to something...

Today I was able to 1) keep my mind open enough to see what price might have been trying to do, and 2) be patient and wait until I thought I could see an opportunity before taking a trade.

Vortex Meditation

I wanted to make a separate post for this today.

I’m starting to do something in addition to the book I discussed previously.

Weekend Review

I wasn’t feeling well coming into the week and it wasn’t until Thursday that I began to feel better.

As anyone knows, it’s difficult to be “positive” when you’re not feeling well. Even though I...

On the first trade I got suckered into shorting at the lows of the morning. Old habits die hard.

The second trade was based on a break of the channel and a retest of the lows. It wasn't a bad...
