Mind­ful Trading

• Feel­ing bet­ter. Decid­ing to go Keto is not the right move for me right now. Instead I decid­ed to incor­po­rate health­i­er choic­es as my way for­ward (for the time-being). It’s not that I don’t believe in Keto. It’s just that trad­ing comes 1st for me and the way I have been feel­ing after start­ing keto is just awful. I need to pre­pare bet­ter if I want to start doing keto again. Pre­pare the things I need in advance. Today, I feel fair­ly good so let’s see how I’ll do dur­ing the session. 

Focus Points for trad­ing development

• Week­ly Goal
  • Cor­rect posi­tion sizing
  • Trades pri­or­i­ty: 1) let mar­ket pro­file guide 2) M30 con­fir­ma­tion (watch out for ‘Bil­ly No Mates’)
• Risk Man­age­ment
  • Only take 2 trades a day but only have 1 active trade on between the assets
  • Only trade off M30 candles
  • Trad­ing Priority
    • FX pair out­side value
    • FX pair inside > Gold
    • 2+R prof­it dur­ing LN con­sid­er trad­ing PNYC
  • After 4 los­ing trades reduce TP to 1.5R but after 1R can con­sid­er tak­ing profits
