Trading Accountability Recap

1. Goals & Intentions:

• What were your trading goals for the day? My goal was to execute a good trade.
• Did you stick to your plan? Why or why not? I did, but i missed one thing. The thing? it was about not using the previous structure, only the structure that makes the high.

2. Execution Review:

• Adherence to Strategy:
• • Did you follow your rules (entry/exit, risk management)? Yes, I did.
  • Where did you deviate? I didn't deviate. I was thinking about increasing my risk to $250 per trade but i left it at $150.
• Emotional Discipline:
• • Did emotions influence your decisions? How? I think to an extent. It didn't affect my execution, It just affected why I traded. Due to emotions of sitting on my hands and being patient, I took a trade that i wasn't supposed to take because i missed it. Honest Mistake.
  • What triggered emotional responses today? Being patient. Seeing a setup after waiting for a couple of days brought out some excitement in me. Made me miss the structure that would have invalidated the trade.

3. Performance Evaluation:

• Best Trade:
• • Why was it successful? Did you follow your plan? It wasn't but I followed my plan.
• Worst Trade:
• • What went wrong? Was it avoidable? I traded a setup that I wasn't supposed to trade.

4. Lessons Learned:

• What personal behaviors helped or hindered your performance? Being more patient. I think having a lot of funded accounts has made me sit down more often and not worry about not taking a trade. Past me would have taken 10 trades today lol.
• What habits need reinforcing or changing? Sitting and waiting. It has helped me immensely. Wait for price to come to you.

5. Accountability Actions:

• What steps will you take to improve tomorrow? Patience. I need to analyze price much closely not to make the same mistake today.
• Who/what will hold you accountable? The markets and myself.
