Did some work yesterday, but last night I burnt myself out and have been recovering the entire day. This is probably one of my biggest issues, and ties in to the health condition I am dealing with. I'm a father to a 10 month old baby boy, and it's both the most amazing thing and the hardest thing I've ever done. That said, today I started meditating again seriously since I realized that I need to have a more resilient mind in the face of all this stress. It's helped a lot.
Recap of yesterday:
1/ Built my prep routine for preparing mentally and emotionally for the trading session.
2/ Created more flashcards to help retain trading concepts and insights better in my long-term memory.
3/ Watched Britton's video "Trading in Probabilities", which was also an amazing talk on trading psychology. There were so many gems in there and I will definitely come back to watch the video again. That kind of psychological work of re-aligning our beliefs and behaviors in the market is a long term process, and is something I should always reflect on every time I trade, whether paper or live. I also really liked the Red/Yellow/Green Light mental model. When I used to trade a lot, besides getting emotional on both winning and losing trades --> red light, I would also over analyze and build scenarios, after already entering the trade, after the entry itself --> yellow light. Flipping from analysis mode to execution mode would be helpful in letting go of the trade outcome, since over-analyzing once already in the trade, is another way of trying to protect myself from a negative outcome, of which I don't really have any control over.
I am feeling better and will continue with the meditation as well as the trading work. I love trading and I want to get back in the flow as fast as possible, but I also want to be more methodical about it.
