- Review
- Didn’t see my setup so did not take any trades today.

- I did well here.
- What’s one thing you learned today?
- If there’s no setup don’t try and get involved anyway
- What’s one thing I need to do more often?
- Be patient.
- What’s one thing I need to do less often?
- Look for patterns to trade on the LTF. The TTF is my Trading Time Frame.
