First few days of December

1.

+3 pips

Probes on the downside didn't work. Upside was later also limited. I did trade only when I see possible opportunity and didn't bother with rest of it.




2.

- 11 pips

I forgot that I should trade only fast market and skip market like this. Old habits die hard, and when start is wrong I usually keep going same way.


5.

-31 pips

This is brilliant example how bad is it to do things wrong way. Just because I thought that market will break massively I left great scalps on the table. I couldn't believe that I could pick that many good entries one after another.

Nowadays I use my account as some kind of demo platform. I prefer trading with small account to trading imaginary dollars. Emotions are real even if amounts are really small.

My intention is to stabilize my trading. Trading inside my risk boundaries, picking only market that is suitable for me. I still breach discipline, look for home runs and forget not to trade on days that are not fast and directional. Still I'm making some progress, like I accepted daily loss limit (daily stop) and on most days I stick with it. When I breach it, I know I don't want to do that and it's harder and harder to be undisciplined.

Like shooting duck in a barrel. This is the only kind of market I should be trading. Sometimes duck can shoot back, so better to make everything as easy as it can be.
