GOALS REVIEW From Jan 1st:
1 Book per 2 weeks
I finished:
The Disciplined Trader (Mid Dec-Wk 1)
Trading in the Zone (Wk 2)
MoMo Traders (Wk 3)
Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (In Progress)
1 Webinar per day
Challenge webinars aren't as of quality as I originally thought. I will be going through the NEW webinars every week on saturdays.
Raise the consistency of AM / PM Rituals to 5/week
Just finished reviewing my January Progress, contrary to my guess--i'm more consistent with my AM rituals and have less RED on my PM rituals, I DO KNOW that last week's PM rituals were made as a catchup and were made DURING the AM rituals. So in a way, i did do them but on the wrong time. But progress was made. Also, on my AM ritual--the 5min Exercise was a fail. I AM Planning to start including a weekly workout routine soon however.
I started Jan 1-8 strong with meditating. Missed until Jan 15 and restarted until Jan 26 and forming a new streak. I noticed once I stopped meditating, and missing my routines--I started to go into my old ways and had a slump. Outprocessing obstacles and a ton of random appointments waned my resilience + failure of the new weekly review system---I was finally overcome by my adversities this last week--hence reverting back to what worked.

--------------------------- For February-------------------------------
**** Gamblers think about profits, Traders think about Risk ****
Shifting my attitude/mindset from making money and towards:
1) Risk Management
- Know risk prior to trade
- Know stop loss prior to trade
- Size position accordingly to the stop loss
- ACCEPT RISK !!
2) Managing Emotions
- No more zombie trading
- No more revenge trading
3) Managing Mind
- Regular Meditations
- Objectivity Exercises
Mandatory Weekly Goals....
A) Zero (0) Zombie trades
B) Zero (0) Revenge trades
C) Trade only quality/Go-To-Setups.. (Think retired trader)
** Something I want to do in the future--Watch a stock's price action with NO indicators
Rule: If I have either 1 zombie trade or 1 revenge trade during February, I will sit out from trading for a mandatory 1 week cooling off. This will be a negative incentive that will turn me off from making those type of trades since almost all my motivation and raison d'être currently is daytrading.
