Mindful Trading (lack of sleep?)

Focus Points for trading development
- Monthly Goals
- Either hit SL or target, reassess after Trading Window Close
- Use SL scaling in case the profit target for the setup doesn’t provide 2R for example for FA or VAA setups
- Risk Management
- 2 consecutive days of lack of sleep = NO TRADING
