Lightbulb moment: - You need to understand the game you’re playing. I know I’ve been trading too casually and not treating it like a business with all of my decisions and preparations. To use Kyle’s analogy, I have been playing Mario Kart with my “car” when the markets are truly more like an Atlanta expressway that require careful attention and thoughtful preparation - the wrong moves without proper execution can truly be fatal (to an account/business). I’ve gotta tighten the screws.

I have struggled with emotional control and not getting tilted into revenge trading when I start losing. In essence, I trade my pain and try to trade for redemption when I feel like a failure. I’ve lost too many EAs and PAs doing this. I will start over, even as it feels like I can’t start over with the responsibilities to provide for my kids, and follow these plans to a T. I have to trust the process, prepare ahead of time, trade, and log the trades. Right now, I’ll just be doing it in simulation.

My mind is blown

Kyle really pushed into my mind that When and Where is more important than How. So, I decided to start practicing today based on the importance of the When and the Where more than how I will set my trades. I logged every trade honestly and took as much notes on my trades as I could. Within the time span of 9:30am to 11:45 am, I found 11 trades to take based on When and Where across 4 different assets. I kept my risk around $150-$180 and went for an average of 2.8:1. My mind is blown in the part where I lost 5 out of 11 trades, but after all trades I profited $1,928.25. I used to get so frustrated with losses and would revenge trade without sticking to my initial plan. I can see now that losses are inevitable but if I stick to my plan, it will work out.

@Tivinia Tonga so not MCL? I guess you could possibly do the $150 risk size with the minis
