This journal will be used to document my trades and experiences while trading. I have been trading little under five years, maybe two years consecutively with all the time put together. I have not reached consistency nor have I become fearless at trading. I have slowly become more disciplined in some aspects, but there is still more I need to improve upon. I will be trading with moving averages, a momentum indicator, and market internals. My primary markets are ES and NQ. However, I will be watching other futures markets.
Some of the challenges that I have faced so far are trading blues, not wanting to get up in the morning, extreme rage, extreme sadness, and euphoria. Also, I have limiting beliefs I am working through that have impacted my life overall that I am slowly peeling back the layers on and shifting.
Some of my wins, I have been learning and growing, overcame sadness and rage, and now getting up every market day. I am more present and aware. I have more command over my emotions, life, and experiences.
My trades will all be sim because I have not earned the privilege to go back live. Trades will be based upon typical price patterns and methodologies incorporating indicators.
