Emma´s T20 Journal

Hi

Yes, Agreed to all you said.

I think we should add a habit to our list of habits. We should backtest last week's charts at the end of the week. And we must do it when we are not in the mind of "I'm ready to trade". The market must be closed. Best to do it on Sunday or Saturday when we find 15 minutes or so.

cheers

When i am in a trade i just have an intense feeling of ”END IT”. I strongly dislike being in the uncertainty even though i have an edge and this trade in
the long run is just one of many.

The emotion is still there. 

What i can do in these situations is to breath.

Trade.

I did not have a good feeling about it. It is valid but not the highest score. A B-trade

Trade 6.

Placed a trade too close to the news. Am feeling stupid… Overall a Ds1 trade, but could have been filtered.
I took this trade. I see it as valid. One thing i forgot about is that it is that there was a news release minutes after.
 
Trade 7

This trade was a blunder. I placed sl to be 2 pips before due to my fear. That caused the trade to be a BE trade instead of 3 R. I am getting very
frustrated at myself. 

03.03.2022_16.28.50_REC NEO.png

 
After this i am not feeling good. I am feeling it so to speak. I end here now. I felt the urge to make up for it and force a trade. Just wanted the dissapionted feeling go away ASAP!! 
I won over it. I did not do anything in that state of mind. Well done 
End of the day:

Have i followed my plan? Both yes and no. The last trade i let the fear take over.

Have i written my feelings and thoughts to get them out of my system? Yes i have.

Have i seen my feelings and thoughts as signals and have i been aware of them and not let them take over me? Yes. But the fear took me one time. Have a feeling of calmness.. a sense of clarity is appearing more often. Less confusion.

Well done on getting out of that trade with wrong lot size. As soon as you make a mistake, GET out, don't listen to ideas such as "oh lets see where it goes". Nope, if its a mistake, rectify it immediately by getting out. Today I took a trade on BitCoin and found that my account was fully leveraged. I was shocked and learned that my lot size was way too big. I exited immediately (luckily with a small loss)

It has been a tough week. Alot of doubt and fear.

I have had a high score in ds score and i can see that my worst trades are improving.
I have an overall higher level in my trading.
The doubt comes from that i did not made profits this week. I get tunnelvision. Its the same every time i am in a drawdown.
I always blame myself… But there is no one to blame because there is no fault. It is variance in the market, in my performance and that is how its going to be. Always.

I am making progress in my descisionmaking and the way i think. Less overthinking. More quality trades. Less brainfarts.
So GREAT!!!

Another thing is in backtesting this week was alot more profitable.... so i have a long way to being 100% objective even though i know that is not a good goal to have. But 80% is.

I am seeing that i should not take entrys outside my tradingtime. I have 10-13 on dax and 16:30-17:30 on Us undices. And thats it!

The results shows that something is wrong. I will not change my tradingplan but i will ahve to go through it in detail and simplify my perception about the "good setup". Right now its way too strict.
