Thoughts:


Mon - Fri, 5,2,0,10,10 Pomos for the week.  27 Total.
I had a hiccup in the middle of the week but bounced back.  The weekend was off limits to studying.  Coming to the review (which i'm late on doing), I overall felt that I wasted a week.  Again, I find myself being too hard on myself, i'm really grateful for tracking my progress and started to do my weekly reviews again.  Once I reviewed last weeks post on what GTOs/Goals are, I realized that I was able to knock out the most important items for the week.  I'm not where I'd like to be as far as pomos but I am nowhere even near a wasted week which is what I felt.  On top of this, this was the first week in Chiang Mai.
Brush up on **Kindness**

I found some sources of frustration from last week and it came from expectations of others.  How to juggle other's growth without having too much expectations that makes it counter productive?
Brush up on **Expectations**, **Growth** and how much eustress until it becomes distress?


GTOs for the current Week:


- DUX Webinars
- Check Correlli Clearing for short locates
- Check IB process for short locates
- CHALLENGE Webinars for grittani/dux

GOALS FOR THIS WEEK:
1)  Meet a minimum of 8 Pomos/day
1)  Track Daily Pomodoros and increase it daily to meet 16 Pomos on Friday
2)  Finish DUX Webinars
3)  Start Trading Tickers
4)  Refine WoH/GTSetups

TRADING GOALS FOR THIS WEEK:
1)  Initiate Screen Time / Monitor Progress
2)  Only F3/Pos Catalyst trades
3)  Monitor all other strategies


PREMEDITATIO MALORUM


DEFINE -------------------------------- PREVENT -------------------------------- REPAIR

1)  I get nothing done ------------------ uhh, 50% is showing up --------------- Bounce back the next day
2)  I don't wake up early ------------------ Stick to PM Routine --------- Reset and Bounce back nxt day
3)  FOMO / Zombie Trading ----- GTSetups / Mindfulness / Small pos size --------- Learning Lessons

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN ATTEMPT OR PARTIAL SUCCESS

1)  I will gain experience and take Kyzen Trading further into profitability
2)  I will wake up early enough for screen time and accomplish more tasks.  Doing so will reinforce the positive habits I am trying to embody.
3)  Reducing or limiting FOMO / Zombie Trades will limit the drawdowns on my trading capital as well as minimizing emotional rollercoasters.

THE COST OF INACTION

1 MONTH --------------------------------- 6 MONTHS --------------------------------- 3 YEARS

1)  I'm stuck where I am ----------- BOREDOM / FUNDS Depleting---------- I'd need a job in the US
2)  Slow trading growth -------- Habits control me and not the other way ----------- Mindless meatsack
3)  Stuck in mindless trading ---- Frustration increasing / losing money ------ I'd need a job in the US






--------------------------- For Whenever-------------------------------
**** Gamblers think about profits, Traders think about Risk ****
Shifting my attitude/mindset from making money and towards:

1) Risk Management
- Have plan before trade
- 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, 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'ĂȘtre currently is daytrading.

*** ACCEPTANCE ***
