My journey towards consistency

[gftrader32]

I've decided to log my trades and my journey towards consistency. I was beaten up badly by the market with hard earned money for the last two years.


So I decided to create this thread to make myself accountable for my actions publicly.

I have around 20 months from now to be consistent, day in day out. My plan to demo trade 6-8 months before going live with real money.


I went through difficult times during my journey and caused multiple damages to my account, health and family. I guess it's a price that needed to be paid.

I need to sort out few things... Life couldn't be busier... Two kids, daily job, new home.. I need to organise some free time slots just for trading with no disturbance.. Some days will be early mornings others will be late nights or during my breaks at work...

Just to give you the thumbs up for the idea of keeping a trading journal here. :clap:

My trading mentor suggested I start writing a blog some time ago. 400+ blog posts I am still going at it, and i have found it really helpful!

Good luck on your journey.

Great stuff with your journal!

Can you explain a bit about your strategy? No need to go into details I would just like to understand a bit more of how you trade!!

Thanks
