Good afternoon Jay, Yeah, Im strictly Scalping with targets. Sometimes 10 pips, sometimes 3 pips, but anywhere around there im fine with. I used to just take 1-2 pips from freight of losing them, but Ive changed that now. Another thing Ive changed is making instant trades, and letting price hit my triggers and then my TPs, something Ive never really done in the past.
Like I said before, last week I did a little test run, just to break the habit of Market orders (instant trades) and had a nice run of orders being hit and then not touching the order till it hit either my stop or my target. Got to 78 wins in a row i think it was, with 99% of them hitting my TPs, and that was a big order for my trading personality. But it helped me grow confidence in my trading even more so then last week. I did close a few instantly, because I seen dark clouds arisin, but other times, I watched it just miss and retrace away from my TP, then have to wait it out, but little Drawdown in the process.
Dont want to hijack this thread, but I think the experience in Time put in and hard work and stress go hand in hand with the thread, lol…
And just like you said, cant really relax, as I feel this is my golden egg, so I have to be in the action, wheather watching price or trading, Have to keep the brain in flux as much as possible. If Im not trading, Im watching Youtube of SUCCESS stories, and Tony Robbins of course.
Its a process, thats for sure. But with Big goals, there is little time to sit back and enjoy the atmosphere that I like very little of. As I sit here typin, I hear Trains and its non stop, and just cant take it anymore. Even earplugs dont work, and I hate wear headphones with music blarring in my ears, as I have sensitive hearing as it is.
SMH, just hate it, so this is my motivation. Its like listening to a Jet plane sitting on the tarmak all day long.
Said before, If I didnt live here, Id be a billionaire by now, because I lose concentration so often and rush my trades. Cant do that, and be successfull…
My goal is 25% a day, but have to be consistent. And 25% a day is grossly a high goal. OMG, a motorcycle, I hate them. Wish it would snow already, but seems Winter took the season off.
On a daily basis, I have about 6 things that regularly annoy me to no end, allllll day, every day, and night.
Now Im done, lol… No more trading for the week. I accomplished more this week then the last 3 years, I think anyways…
Jay, Keep rollin brother, youll get to were you want to be, babypips, I mean Baby steps, lol…
Cheers,
