Finally. I have been living straddling two houses with nearly everything in boxes. I just got my new trading desk setup, prepared it as though it were some sacred area; balanced, structured, uncluttered, focused. Cords organized and tucked away where they are safe, two dedicated sound sources for NT only and everthing else, chart analysis moved to center focus, other work moved to another desk entirely, files moved out of this area, printer and fax in another room, pig front and center...
I previously faced out with a desk in the center of the room, but decided to face the wall this time to eliminate distractions and make it easier to step back and watch, share charts with friends, allow my wife to see what I am doing.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Yes, that is almost exactly what I have been doing, back and forth on various sizes, feeling the difference. And taking breaks, digesting, talking to myself about it, walking around, then come back. I have noticed it has made my 1-2 contract trading much calmer, so something is shifting. I put a lot of energy into my trading area tonight to improve comfort, focus and confidence. Moved my chart analysis to center to be the main attraction.
Re-written trading plan in the works, currently at 9 pages. A lot of it is diagrams and spreadsheets. One for risk, one for equity tracking, one for goal tracking, a basic outline that I will read each day before I trade, one just to run some calculations in the background without having to look at them. I feel like I am preparing for some major competition, or Atlantic crossing, or survival show.
