How well did I manage my physical, emotional and cognitive states?
I did really well here today. I did not feel much while I was in the trade. I thought I was taking charge and going through OODA loops to consider staying with the trade and such. I did well here for the most part. The second trade I could have stayed with the trade longer as this would have scratched the trade instead of a ‑0.7R loss.
What did I learn today?
I learned today that I should focus on my 1R trades. I am in a DD so that is okay. But I am also thinking that often times I get 1R trades right. Then I can reassess if there is a way for me to hold on to trades longer or not. Like the scaling that I am learning right now might allow me to get better R multiples. But still until I am out of a DD, 1Rs it is.
What’s one (or more) thing(s) I need to do more often?
Take trades. Make mistakes. Only way to learn. Great job on taking trades.
What’s one (or more) thing(s) I need to do less often?
Worry about any one trade. Although, I did really well today.
Under the circumstances, did I perform at my best?
Yes, I did.
