Re: Tomi's friendly market journal
Perfect. one trade to start the LO and that's it. And that was really it for me too. i did not even look after that! very nice, thank you.
What is the Secret of Successful Trading?
The Consistent Pursuit of DS1
The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".
I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.

Yo, banana boy!

Re: Tomi's friendly market journal
Tomi,I totally agree with you and I really enjoy reading your journal as well.Tomi wrote:Thank you Michael. Just sharing how I do it. Mistakes here and there. Getting trades and missing some. Always learning to be better and improving the skill every day a bit better. I'm not trying to show how this should be done (we have Immy for that stuff), but to learn for myself. Maybe someone learns from my success or mistakes. Maybe someone points something that I could improve. One thing I know for sure still. Recording a live video keeps me fully focused to trading. That's a big bonus.
I, personally, use my AIMS-forum journal as my main trading journal. I simply put the text from here, including commented screenshots, unchanged into a single Word-file, print it out and file it into my big trading folder. Beside getting coaching and mentoring here from Immy and senior AIMSters, it's the most valuable resource for learning to trade properly and consistantly and becoming self-aware. I spend more time with documentation and after-trade analysiy than with live-trading and think that it' really worth it.
I can imagine that making a live-trading video supports self-awareness even more.
One thing what I have to admit is that sometimes it feels a bit peculiar if other AIMSters praise or point out some comments or results of my journal because after just 6 months of regular AIMS-trading, I don't see myself as an expert. Yes, I probably have gotten the hang of it, but, e.g., I hardly dare to call trades live in skype room as it seems to much responsibility yet, so I let it do Immy, Grant, Dave, Sam, Peter, Kyle,... thanks guys ;-)
Cheers
Michael
