Apex Sniper Trading Bootcamp – Challenge Countdown – 28 Days …
Friday and I made a massive mistake …
Actions I took today:
Today I had a major technical problem which caused me to lose approximately -$741 !!!
I entered a trade on my computer and nothing happened … I waited and then not seeing my trade entered on the chart … It would appear that I pressed the enter button a couple of times!!!!
The result was that the chart then started moving except now it is -$500, then it showed -$741 and I exited.
So how did this happen?
Apparently, my computer had become frozen at about the time I entered. I assumed that I had not hit the button correctly so hit it again after waiting for a few seconds. It would appear in my haste I hit it a couple of times. The data then started rolling and the rest is history.
This has happened before and my solution was not to enter again if my first click did not enter the trade.
It happened so quickly, I didn’t even think the chart was frozen.
I now need to develop a better process so this will not happen again. I will also review and see if I can do something to prevent the freezing from occurring.
Potential ES Trades for today
Naturally, I did not trade for the rest of the day.
You can see below that I have split the potential trades into two sections. The top is my normal section showing Potential trades.
I was looking for a better way to reduce mistakes – how to record and review the trades that are Potential Trades but have some reason not to take the trade.
Knowing when NOT to enter a trade is probably more important (or at least as important) then the trades I enter. It will help me change my focus when reviewing the market.
I will try this format to see if it will help me review when NOT to enter trades.
If anyone has any ideas on the best way to approach this then please let me know.
Resources:
I enjoy a number of podcasts. One I regularly check out is the Chat with Traders Podcast.
Check out Aaron’s latest “Best of Trading Psychology”
199: Best of Trading Psychology, Pt. 1
Watch this space for more resources that I find useful.
I will include books, articles, podcasts, interviews, videos, hypnosis/meditation audios, mental exercises, and more …
I will report back tomorrow on my progress and any lessons I learn
