Overall profit 3%.

March has been tough, very tough. Both in trading and personal life.

I have had the kids home alot due to light colds and the extreme tough restictions in school. Not an excuse at all, more a reminder to myself to monitor my susceptibility to make errors even more.

My probibalistic mindset just dissapeard and fear came back, which resultet in some minor errors. I havent taken extremely bad trades, but some maybe was not as good as i want them to be.
This certainly not feels good.

The good thing is that i have recorded all the trades and i can go back and see. I have also been here and followed my plan and being consistent through out the month.

So i was disciplined, but may have taken some setups (totally valid) but maybe not the best ones....

I will not be dissapointed in myself, i will pat myself on the shoulder for sticking to my plan this sh*t month.

I am slowly on the way back to the probibalistic mindset

Had a problem with the orders on dax today. Thought that there was a marginproblem, but no.
Should have had a 2 R trade, but ut did not trigger.

To be honest. This has been a very bad week. 
I am a chicken and i dont take trades. Today i could have made 4 R´s. I take the trades that give BE and -1%. 
The Be was valid. and the -1% i took based on S1 / Pullback on m5.

On monday i will trade without the chicken because it is hurting my trading.

When I first saw the rent trade, I was kind of confused. IT was above the line. I was not sure what you were doing until I read the comments. Oh well, typical mistake of complicating things. NEXT

I'm in the biggest drawdown I've ever had.
I like to think I've gotten to the point where I'm not affected, but of courseam.

BUT a good thing from loosing alot is that my fear of putting on a trade is getting smaller .
I try to see the positive in this.
 
I think I'm generally disciplined and stick to my signals. 

I just have to keep learning.

I'm going to nail these pullbacks so well I can take them while I'm asleep.

Had some problems with ATM not taking my orders so have missed some of the 2% trejds, which feels really frustrating.
But I'm going to get out of this period.

I'm going to reinstalling it and hopefully the problems will go away.
