My take on Emotional Discipline

I am posting only winning trades , there are mutiple small losses causing downward slope of Expectancy value.
Dropping 5 set ups and taking only 2 set ups on this smaller account. Multiple setups on a single account doesn't work for me as i am easily prone to over trade .

Nq seems nothing compare to Dow.
Nailed the bottom reversal, feels so good.

Ym still going up

Chickened out 120 pips, you see there was no exit signal .
Flat now.

Finally the vertical take off..

couldn't miss this southbound trains

Here, i call it monkey trading, inconsistant approach , not following system .
back to square 1.

Today's summary, other than 2 stupid trades from last night ...well executed .

Third leg , 400 ticks girls.

Double bottom break out set up is occurs now on indices but not taking it, as not in my trading plan

Can the Dow hold the today's low?

Going through yesterday's trades
27 trades taken, 7 trades as per my system
20 trades were monkey trading.
1 winner 26 losses.
results of trying to be mechanical as much as possible.
Trying really hard not to take trades out of nowhere.

no random entries today.

sell side, nice round trip today.

Trading without stoploss is a disaster awaits to happen.
Doubled with leverage we may think, oh i will cut it when it reach my daily loss limit.
Only if your monkey allows you to do it.
When is your monkey takes over trading decisions?
I am still searching for that answer, when i know the answer this journal will end.

as per setups, no f.ups yet.

NQ, DOW...
