So, this is my first journal and first post on Big Mikes. I have been trading part time for about three years and would like to make the move to full time within the next year. I registered for this site 894 days ago but didnt really look at it until 2 years later. Wish I would have been here earlier rather than wasting too much time with vendors.
Currently, I trade the CL and 6E using PASR (just learned that acronym today) along with Volume Profile. I have been able to shed some methodologies that I have found inconsistent with my personality but am still working to find consistency. I do know that I am striving for more simplicity. However, I am finally at the point where I believe that primary focus should be on execution and trading psychology rather than methodology.
My goal in this journal is to focus on improving execution and trading psychology rather than methodology. Through this journal, I am hoping for the following:
-Accountability;
-To increase the scope of my trade review;
-To accelerate and gain a clear view of my progression by focusing on one aspect of my trading at a time that needs improvement.
Initially, I plan to post in the morning after my morning review with my plan for the day. I will then post at the end of the day with an analysis of how well I executed the plan. The first area of focus will be over-trading.
