I received this email from Reader Bob titled “Someone has to tell me to stop being an idiot like I was today”:<\/p>\n
Might as well be you :-).<\/p>\n
So overtraded, didn’t focus on my edges, missed my #1 set-up on LEN (top of my trade plan). The easiest $1 anyone will see when it walked through the top of the 15 minute opening range on a pullback and just climbed all day.<\/p>\n
I feel so foolish, but better now that I told someone. I trade alone at home all day, very, very difficult.<\/p>\n
Thanks (I can’t even speak the words I put in my journal)….<\/p>\n

Every day the market gives us an opportunity to learn.
\nHaving an experience that made you sick is a positive if you journal this experience in detail.
\nWhen you make an emotional connection with your journal you are less\u00a0likely to repeat the mistake.
\nSo a lot of good came from yesterday.<\/p>\n
Keep working hard on finding the patterns that work best for you. Great job of journaling!<\/p>\n
Oh and I have the same stuff in my journal. It should never be read or seen
\nby anyone other than me :).<\/p>\n
