Hello,
I havent worked on trading for long time. Really what I have learned from the podcasts - it is that I need to analise my trades, not just place trades. So placing trades was more motivation, you just open like trading view or metatrader, place them, watch them. But I am never making profit. So I decided I need more analysis, backtesting. And here it is harder thing to do - it is boring.
But also I need to analyse how can I improve my time. I have programming job, where I work 36 hours per week. Also now since I recently started, plus I have this privilege of shorter work week, I need to study for work to have an edge against other programmers. But damn it is so hard after this.
I also do some other stuff which eats lot of time - gym, walking.
So I tried hard this week after talkign with one trader to be more disciplined. I managed to work and studyt about 40 hours this week  but really studying ended some time on sunday afternoon.
Oh and I have 2 flats rented, so need to manage them also, which takes time.
Now after so hard strugle to at least make those 40 hours study plus work on programming/psychology, I have little headache, I am thinking it might be cause by this forcing myself. But who knows,maybe some other things like unhealthy food cause it? Ate lot of unhealthy food past few days like big mac, chocolates, potatoe chips, cola. Why I do this - because I had damn surgery in spring, plus some unpleasand ant painful checks after surgery. So I awarded myself budget for unhealthy food, so this will be temporary, the budge t is going to an end.
I think I want to get some feedback from people, otherwise I could write for myself. My really first step to trading success is to damn find time, then motivation. And they kind of allign. Because I maybe do something inefectivelly because I think - I have the time, like if I start work past 9 AM, so what, I can end work day later. But that make me have no time after work for trading. I have remote job so starting 8 AM should be easy as â– â– â– â– . But it is not. Yea, sometimes I cannot fall asleep easily so I wake up later, if I would force to still wake up early despite not having slept enought, then I would have to suffer whole day and have lower productivity. Sleep is one of the most important things to productivity.
