8th Trading Day of the new year! Traded last hour again! No trades today as it appeared I missed the huge move of the day so I could not accept the risk of trading the last hour.
I Have two Funded Accounts with APEX 25K & 50K
(Will Update Balances Daily Moving forward)
EOD Funded Account Balances:
25K PA Account: $24,467.00
50K PA Account: $49,326.00
Personal
Ninja Trader Account Balance: $560.40
positives:
1. Was not prepared to trade today so I did not.
2. Accepted that I need to be better at my pre-trade preparation
3. Did not try to chase profits because other traders made a profit today.
Improvements:
1. Create a pre-trade gameplan daily that I will post here.
2. Accept that I need to be prepared to be confident.
3. Play classical music while you trade (still need to start this habit! Lol)!!!!!
Key statistics from the day:
Total Profit/Loss: +0 Ticks
Profit factor: 0
Sharpe Ratio:0
Sortino Ratio: 0
Total Trades: 0

If you want to hear music for focus, then another option could be videogame music. It is made to keep you engaged for longer periods. But if you just like classical music, ignore this message!

And especially, try the Hitman game series and their soundtrack (free on YouTube).
It's just amazing!
