17-Apr-2025 | My Daily Contract with Myself & Lessons for the Day

Pre-Trading Rituals:

  1. Quiet time - 10 mins. 
  2. Start OBS and livestream.

Trading Rules:

  1. No zone. No trade.
  2. SL is clearly defined (i.e., when the trade is invalid) before entering a trade. 
  3. Stop Trading for the day if: Loss = $1800 (40% of Loss Limit) or Profit = $4500

Daily Habits:

  1. Daily personal (Kindle) & trading journal (on flowsystems.pro)
  2. Physical exercise - (at least 50 push-ups)
  3. Meditation practice - Daily SKY

End of the Day:

Was this a GREEN DAY or a RED DAY? 

The $ does not make it RED or GREEN. Breaking the contract or respecting the contract makes it RED or GREEN. 

What did I not follow today?

  1. Junk food
  2. I made some hasty trades and over leveraged - came out green - building unsustainable habits.

Lessons Learned:

  1. Don't do limit sell orders. Do limit orders on .705 (SL is .79) and .745 (SL is 15 pts) and .618 (SL is 15 pts)
  2. Do limit orders on the .41. Play the GB model.

What went well? 

  1. Learning about patience. SKY is regular and appears to me is the only thing that is saving me. For I am not doing this, this is my contract. I have also pledged 30% of all trading income to AOL causes, for me (not them, they don't need me).

Plan for tomorrow

  1. Work on a proper flowsystems.pro strategy on naming, branding, content creation. A strategy that is contrarian, against the YT algo and very direct.
