Is it me, or when you look at this week results do you have the feeling you've seen this image before? You could be forgiven if you did because last week I made £1.85 and this week it's 10p less!!
However, on Friday it could've been just over £10 more in profit but I took a trade, as I should've because my strategy gave me the signal, and instead of scalping out, it moved against me and I took a loss. But, this week, like last week, has been very, very good in terms of sticking to my strategy, taking the signals without hesitation, trading without emotion, staying in a trade instead of getting out almost as soon as I am in, and just my overall mindset and discipline whilst trading.
A quick example was on Wednesday morning I think, I was down about 30 odd points. I took a trade which got me back to almost even on the morning. I was 4 points down. Now the old me would've tried to scalp those 4 points to get back to actual breakeven, and in all likely hood lost more, got frustrated and snap quit. But, this me, simply looked at the time (I had to leave to go to the gym before work), and decided that 4 points down from where I was, was as good as breakeven and that I've changed, I am not the trader I used to be, so I was in fact happy with the morning and I can close my broker and get on with my day without giving it another thought.
I quite proud of my mental progress this week, even if I am not as proud of my account progress.
