My thought for today -
I always analyse my trades at the end of the day, to see where I have gone right or wrong as the case maybe. I only day trade / scalp - today I had a very good day and I was congratulating myself when something dawned on me - I had two perfect trades and the reason they were perfect was because I had executed them 100% perfect to my plan (system).
Usually when I have losing trades I find excuses and most of the time the excuses are valid. The valid excuse being - I didn’t stick to my rules 100%
I know losing trades are part and parcel of the probability game that we play but I know (ok hindsight is 20/20 vision) that it is easy to jump into trades that are not 100% valid.
Find your edge and stick to the rules, otherwise you only over trade and start having losing trades that shouldn’t be there.
One big advantage that we have over brokers is - we don’t have to trade - they do.
