Missed TWG SHPH PSQH DRCT this week which caused a lot of fomo, I didn't react though. Hard week for me, not in trading, the pattern I'm focusing on right now is printing, just having to get back on the bull. Found myself up 15% then 8% & I had to lock in, solid layup but I'm trying to break this habit. It continued to pull back held above stop and ripped $s. With better preparation and the same stock selection mindset I'll be line for record weeks.

Retested a 3rd time with half size. Max risk for the day met and I closed off after this. Taking 1% size on retests from now on will significantly help my mentality & focusing on taking profits with my new structured approach will result in a massive difference in my trading, and I feel like I've already came so far. One step at a time though.

This is where my new rule would kick in. After facing -1 R on a play, from now on, I will only retest with 1% size. This will eliminate ever seeing a max loss day or at least forcing a max loss on 1 ticker. Mentality is not broken though, I took this as it is, a simple example, with a clear message. Improve from it or don't, that is the next step.

This ticker exposed a weak spot within my system and after some thought I've come up with a way to prevent this type of conundrum from happening again, as long as I follow my rules.

Funny that out of all my trades this week this was the one that I set a take profit and looked away to avoid emotional conflict. I don't know what lesson I should take from that, but a process-oriented win + capital is what I'm here for. With the profit taking method I'm focusing on this could have been my first 10-R trade 10 minutes after my TP was met. All is well, I'm following a process, next week the focus will be on my profit taking, as long as I remain on the path.

Another speculative shot, I felt as if I had already done well on the day, so I kept the size low.

Speculative shot, way overextended but the degenerate in me wanted a piece. Took 1% size & let it go, later becoming a monster and helping the small cap momentum. Glad to see this type of action is back in store. Main RTI for me is improving that profit taking mentality/ action.

Rinse and repeat mindset, still trying to better my profit taking. Still finding myself counting green. I have a process down, I have structure, just need to control that greed while making necessary adjustments.

Retested, met 2:1 in total, accepted my emotional take over & exited again in the MR battle. Sometimes it's better to lock in and not let yourself feel too much discomfort, I don't believe right now is that time, I need maximum discomfort, not with my share size but with my discipline. Embrace the discomfort and progress.

Emotional, took my profits in the major resistance battle instead of the structured way I had planned.
