Starting a journal about my journey to place 842 Trades with discipline and focus.
I am a Dow Futures Trader YM. Looking to go Full-Time by the end of summer as my main income.
3 Tings I have struggled with:
1. Adding to losers which inevitably turn into bigger losers.
2. Market and Strategy hopping, thinking that will make me profitable.
3. Using Funded Trading programs to gamble with size.

I am starting this Journal to be accountable daily and focus on the process of becoming a professional day trader

I use the 3 Minute chart for execution and tick index, RSI 2 and a 21 EMA. I will be journaling that with every entry and exit and will focus on not doing the things that don't work, adding to losers and strategy hopping.
I have attached my trading performance from the last 6 months.
