Tomi's friendly market journal

Daily is so slow. Next trades on summer....

I used to think that way. but its so not true. There are so many opportunities. Quite a lot more than m1. You see on m1 you can ONLY trade 1 pair. On m5 max 2. On m15 max 3. On h1 max 6. On h4, max 12 .on Daily. max 30. so many opportunities you will be so excited.

DAILY is so much more fun than I ever imagined. It gives you more time to live your life, less time to make FOCUSED decisions. Before you start your charts. Meditate. relax your mind, bring yourself to state of joy and happiness, being grateful. Then devote the next 20 minutes to charts. You will be completely focused for 20 minutes without interruption and the the infinite intelligence will pour in. You will be one with the market during those 20 minutes and make the best trading decisions. Once you're out of it you close your charts until the next 23hrs and 40 minutes. On m1. if you trade 2 hrs, you must maintain that state of mind for 2hrs or else you will make mistakes. Keeping The Zone state for 2hrs is 20 times harder than keeping it for 20 minutes.

This is a lovely video of "How to Trade The Fruit Setup". Brilliantly executed. Wish YOu went long at the spot where you got stopped out from the 2 shorts. But that's good in a way because perhaps that is what helped you remain focused and open to any other opportunity and you caught the lovely Shorts. We also got those shorts in the skype room. well done

Looking forward to more videos like these.

ps: music is nice but this one really gives me anxiety. I don't know why.... hmmm (i checked with my wife and same for her... i guess whatever works you.)

Actually the music is a classical favourite but it takes a while to build up to the point towards the end where in some performances they let off the fireworks and cannons. Maybe it is a better piece to watch being played as well as to listen, and perhaps it could make one an aggressive trader at the wrong moment........

eg "WARNING: Cannons may make dogs bark, scare your mom, leave your neighbor dumbfounded, make cats panic, wake you up in the middle of the night shouting at the top of your lungs because you think ur being robbed, scare the crap out of you, and/or blow up your ears and brains; among other things..."

Perhaps it is easier to hum along to Finlandia by Sibelius, although that has aggressive and quieter moments

Not my day. I was too hooked with the idea that there's divergence and was looking only for shorts. There was volatility boost on currencies right before the breakout, but no... I have a video of this session. If someone wants it I can share.

My interpretation:

"there was a volatility boost on currencies" that is the problem.
which lead more problems and you effectively "massaged CHAOS (new incoming information) into previously held categories" you held on to the idea that its going to turn around that its going short while the market kept telling you again and again that its going up. amazing how we get stuck to our opinions/beliefs and hold on to it to so hard to prove it.

yes please share the video... it would be nice to see
