\"\"<\/p>\n

In Dr. Steenbarger\u2019s terrific post<\/a>\u00a0he reminds us that each trading session is a gift to learn. \u00a0He wrote, \u201cEvery day of trading provides a day’s worth of review and learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

I shared a lesson I learned while trading $MTCH today in this video review<\/a>. \u00a0This was a lesson learned after a trading loss after a high conviction trade. \u00a0Arrogant trades from me upset me. \u00a0Who am I to think I KNOW where $MTCH ought to go next?<\/p>\n

One of our most improved traders showed impressive trading growth in his Daily Report Card. \u00a0You have to read what he observed about his trading. \u00a0He noted:<\/p>\n

IMTE was sitting pretty in this. had a catalyst and selling off significantly. took some profits in the steep downmove and then got flat when it got above vwap and went limit up. A sketchy, manipulated stock. Please with my calmness to get out of the stock and realize sometimes its not worth the stress. I feel like I have matured a lot as a trader in that regard. i’m not battling with stocks. i’m ok with missing trades if i have a gut feeling that it may not be worth it.. or comes with opportunity cost.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yes this is real progress! Be in your trades and not just trades with a good risk\/reward. It is not enough to be in trades wit\u2019s a good risk\/reward if your time is better spent elsewhere or a stock is not worth the stress too you. This is a very important example of growth. \u00a0This is a very important example of a trader profiting AND learning a lesson from the trading session.<\/p>\n

These lessons make us better as traders and outside of market hours. \u00a0During mindfulness training, I am led to consider why this exercise will be important to me. \u00a0Quickly, I think of being a better dad, teacher and husband. \u00a0This ancors me to make the most of my mindfulness training.<\/p>\n

Viewing each training session as an opportunity to learn like the examples above, perhaps, can anchor you to experience the most of each trading session.<\/p>\n

Trade well.<\/p>\n

*no revelant positions<\/p>\n
