One thing that has helped my discipline in planning trades has been using an OCO, Order Cancel Order bracket, tied to my entry order. Hard stops definitely seem to be magents to get hit if too close to the action, started with 1 point and now using 2+ which definitely helps reduce some frustration, have to shoot for bigger profit targets though when doing this.
Tried showing this attached. Here I can enter the initial order which triggers protective stop and profit target when filled, all at once.
I like how you have Pivot points shown. Camarilla pivot points seem to come up sometimes as well. Here is a similar chart with some of these for reference.
I don't get a chance to trade much during the day, after hours has a much slower pace until Europe opens. I have been considering it a training ground for a while. If anything teaches some patience as usually not much going on and have to wait for a set-up you like.
I was astounded to see what you wrote in your August 4th journal there, about the "Open after my death" letter, with account and password information. I felt the same way, and wrote the same type of letter a couple months ago! No lie! It is good to see that some of us are cognizant of the hypothetical getting run over by the proverbial bus the next day. :-)
