Just a little consideration of what happens to me when i have a winning streak or better when i have a big winning day.
I tend to raise my daily goal according to that new level and this result on "neck or nothing" trades due to overconfidence. What i do, now that i know this bad habit, i try hard to reset it and start the new day with the montly goal in my head... divide it for 22 trading days.. finally doing the math again and doing a little remember of what are my goals, and suddently i trade more disciplined again... actually i do it even before doing pre market analysis.
@DjRonin g ... We all know what we should and should not do, the real challenge is "just Do It" so every trick we use on ourselves is great ... I just finished the book the "The Chimp Paradox" and it is very interesting to view ourselves with an animal (a Chimp) living inside our brains and making us do certain things ... We must learn to tame the Chimp anyway we can ...

So about Today's Trading ... I was very hesitant to Trade, but told myself to concentrate on today and what I was seeing at the Charts ... It was One very Good Trade ...
I was confident bases on my indicators of a Long Opportunity on CL ... That I took
The Result:
So One must Keep Calm and Keep on Trading According to Our Personal Plan

Nice man. You nailed the CL trade. I really struggled with CL today and really struck out on the short side earlier. Keep up the good work.

So Today I was able to trade with my system ready and updated ...
This is the balance of my Combine Today
And this is my Journey so far ... Challenging
Today, I strugled a little but came out ok
Gold was hard to Trade
My system gave me very clear signals that I was able to take
The 30 year gave some opportunities but didn't manage the trades very well
So the Journey Continues .... Will keep on Journaling until we make it ...
Thanks
