People Don't Do What You Expect, People Do What You Inspect
Reviewing the Trade Plan.
I could not sleep. Well, that's not quite true. I slept for a few hours, and then woke up around 10:00pm CST with my mind racing. I got out of bed and went to my office. I needed to review my trading from yesterday, and what an eye opener it was. I will spare you the details, but I will say this: Once I reviewed what I did ( and did NOT do), I have a greater appreciation for the above statement. Today I am coming into my trading room armed and ready. I have a renewed sense of purpose, and an even greater more precise view of what I need to do today to make my goals, as well as what needs to be done to get back on track. Based on the review of yesterday, I am excited about today. I need to take some 5 hour energy now. It is going to be a long day....
End of Trading Summary
Today was an absolutely EPIC day for The MESA Trading Method. We picked up +175 pips in 5 trades.What is even more amazing is that we captured the entire day's range, ( as of 10:39am CST). That alone is HUGE. Days like this make it all worth it.
Did I make my goal today? No. Wait... You did 175 pips, and you did NOT make your goal? Nope. WHY???? I broke the rules, because I was emotional.
In the last 2 trades, I risked less than what the MESA Trading Method required. My #1 rule is follow the rules. If I had risked what was required, my results would have been double what I earned today. So, after 5 trades and almost 10 hours of trading, I still did not meet my goal, but I am happy as a clam. Why? Because I made up my mind that I would not take any breaks, and that I would focus 100% on trading- nothing more. For the most part, I did just that. More importantly, the traders in the room made money, and that is all that really matters.
