Iam a full time day trader with the need of a daily trading coach. I have decided that I will tray to be my own trading coach after reading The Daily Trading Coach from Brett Steenbarger. Iam trading for almost 5 years now, markets are 6E, GC and CL. I have some problems in my trading, bad behaviors, that I want to work on by exposing my trading results here on futures.io (formerly BMT).
I was planning to begin today but Iam transferring my trading account to another broker because of some weird stuff that is going on at Mirus. I hope I can trade at the end of the week.
In the beginning I will be focused on 1 market until all my problems are solved. When they are solved, Iam allowed to ad contracts and ad 1 more market. My market to follow in the first place will be CL.
What will I be posting here:
My daily trading log with the following componentes:
1: Discribe trade entry, time, size and target,
2: The outcome of the trade, price, time, P/L, and how I exit the trade,
3: Behavioral observations, self-talk/consequences and self-coaching.
(All my trades will include screen shots with the actual trade setup)
Weekly trading log:
1: Weekly outcome
2: Self mirror
3: Outcome if I did not make any mistakes.
Weekly recap:
1: Good things and bad things
2: What to work on?
3: Bad behaviors.
In the next post I will give you some bag ground about the system.
