Over the last few weeks, I have been searching and doing a fearless moral inventory of my trading progress as half year mark of this project is approaching!!
To be totally honest, my project is heading to a failure. I could reach only 10 way points till now. At this pace, even a bronze seems not achievable. Since regret of not trying will be far worse than actual failure itself, I have decided on a new course of action plan. As I can't change the direction of the wind, I need to change the set of the sails.
My Conclusions:
1. Trading without a proper time schedule & missing the main market hours can take a trader only to a certain level.
2. Spending time on more and more technical analysis does not always take a trader to the next level. Its trading psychology and growing the nerves to execute the plan with out fear is what takes a trader to the next level.
Action Plan:
1. Starting from next week until end of this year, I have cut down my full time job hours by half. (40 hours per week to 20 hours per week. Occasionally, during customer visits, I will have to work full day). It enables me to trade/concentrate fully on London morning session.
2. To be able to afford (1) with out having any psychological impacts, I have taken out half of account balance and starting the project with reamaining half as a brand new one.
3. Committing an hour each day to do Master Key System exercises for the next 24 weeks. It is a non negotiable and unalterable term to myself.
Hmmm, standing at the base of a tall mountain, I am telling myself its not as hard as it seems to climb the summit!! I should just enjoy the Journey/The Climb.
P.S: Oanda integrated TradingView charts in their platform.. it is so awesome!!

Actually, now that I think about it, maybe this is a challenge for me . Once I have reached this point in my trading I will create a thread and do just that.
Before and After - where a trader posts the before chart right after entering the trade, and then edits the post to include the after chart right after exiting. Charts posted only afterwards pollute your mind by being able to look ahead - even subconsciously. Obviously, this is a bit of a time commitment, so probably only for M15 and larger traders. I'd be in for this, but I ain't no guru
I couldn't/wouldn't do that for all my trades. Its to much work. In the past I posted before and after for a few people calling BS. I have nothing to prove anymore.
I for sure learned this one the hard way.

Lord, grant me the strength to face the risk with poise and confidence, the wisdom to accept the losses I might incur, and the spiritual faith to see that whatever happens is for the higher good!

Hi Jalarupa,

Just remember you already tripled your account this year. That's awesome returns. The market doesn't care if you make your goals(just cuz I have a 5,000 pip challenge for myself this week doesn't mean I will hit it ). Just be smart and do what you have been doing all year. Don't try changing your trading dramatically. The more screen time you get, the easier it will get. So maybe you only make 5% this month, but what if you doubled what you made each month (5,10,20,40,80,160,320%).
If you need anything you have my email. Feel free to reach out anytime.
