First day getting back into things. Mainly spent the day setting up my pc and tying up loose ends, in terms of life admin. It's also my 2nd year's wedding anniversary today, so the day's cut short to spend some time with her.
That said, my current focus is to setup my Sierra Chart platform to be trading ready and usable by the end of this week. This means:
1/ Volume Profile charts setup - Monthly, Weekly, and Daily.
2/ Footprint charts --> I want to very basically learn how to read it and use it.
3/ Standard volume bars
4/ Execution setup --> Both on the software level, and with me being able to adjust position sizing on micro contracts to optimize risk/reward.
I've struggled with Sierra Chart in the past, but I've made some progress learning it already, and believe that if I break things down into small goals, over time, the platform will feel comfortable. The overall goal is to get to a place where I can be setup to trade MNQ on market replayer, and build some real trading reps again. After doing that for a few weeks, I'd then analyze my data as well as my psychology during the sessions. I'm already jumping ahead but for now, I'd thought it would be good to lay it out.
Happy trading everyone!
