Quite a few big gaps in the racing today, didn’t really get a lot of trades on. Out of four trades I lost three. Just didn’t seem to be able to get into a rhythm with it. Not much to say other than that to be honest. It did allow me plenty of time to think about my approach to trading though. I was just thinking today that it might be an idea to make a list of the various aspects of trading such as money management, staking, sticking to the trading plan, trade execution, ability to spot the signals, cutting loses, focus etc, and after each trade, mark myself against each one. I think that could bring a lot of awareness to my trading and give me some metrics on where I am improving or maybe where I need to focus my efforts more. I’m definitely starting to realise that trading is all about getting the little nuances right. It’s these little improvements in the smallest of areas that are going to make the biggest differences to my success. At some point this week I will find the time to sit down and try and list as many individual facets as I can, try and be really specific. Then put them in a spreadsheet and mark my progress. I’m determined to get better at this. Or at least to understand why I’m not getting better if that’s the case. Other than that it was a fairly quiet affair today. Lets see what tomorrow brings.
