Focus on the process

It's a small profit, but on reflection, I feel like I won much more both mentally and emotionally.

This week was I feel was my best week of trading so far. Sure, you could argue that it's not exactly reflected in the +8 points, but if you could see my Trade Diary and my notes on my daily reviews, then you would see that the profit in my mental and emotional account, way surpassed anything I could've made financially.

Towards the end of the week my focus, my composure, my ability to not only execute trades without hesitation but then to stay in them, was in excess of anything I have experienced so far in this journey. It's a little cliched, but I honestly feel like my trading has turned a corner and it is only onwards and upwards from here. It feels like I have taken the first steps to true mental clarity and emotional control when it comes to trading, but I am not getting ahead of myself. I know all too well that I still have a long, long way to go. In fact, I don't believe that there is an actual destination, but instead, a perpetual journey of discovery, realisation, education and application.

To find out what I am talking about, make sure you read the blog post titled 'Process, process, process' where I go into more detail and describe a specific mornings trading where everything felt, right.
