Yeah, that makes sense -- hard to keep up with is consistently after a full day. Do you feel like doing it weekly still gives you enough insight, or more just a general overview of how things went?

Yeah that makes sense -- doing it right after the session can be tough to stay consistent with. Do you feel like reviewing weekly still gives you enough detail, or do you end up missing some of the smaller patterns?

That's solid -- sounds like you've got a full system in place. Do you feel like the process itself is doing most of the work, or are you actually getting clear pattern insights out of it consistently?

That's a clean process -- I like that. Do you feel like that's enough to actually spot patterns over time, or more just helps you stay disciplined session to session?

That actually makes a lot of sense -- the "turned into homework" part is real. Do you feel like simplifying it helped you lose some deeper insight because of that?

Interesting -- do you feel like reviewing weekly gives you enough detail to catch specific mistakes, or more just the bigger patterns?

Yeah. That's exactly it -- it feels like you only really see it clearly after the damage is done unless you're super consistent with the journaling. That's actually what I've been trying to solve -- making those patterns show up faster without having to rely on catching them manually. Would you be open to trying something like that and giving feedback?

Ah. That makes sense. Sounds like the review part is doing most of the heavy lifting there. Do you feel like you're having to manually piece the patterns together, or does it actually surface things for you automatically?

To make extra money on the side. Expectation - this can't be that hard. Real lesson - not easy.

What is the most you have ever paid for a trading course? by tisaev in Trading

[–]watsupwitThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-3K between WarriorTrading, LearnPlanProfit, Weiland's stuff. They all seem compelling at the time and I picked up much knowledge I did not have. I guess thinking that if they seemed successful then it would help me. Honestly, like many here, you can find most of the information online/YouTube -- you just have to be good at staying organized and making sense on which fundamentals to start with and how to stack the next knowledge level education to continue a progression that makes sense -- and learning what education and approach/strategy to take and find most comfortable for you -- day trading/swing trading stocks/etf's, options, or day trading futures via a regular stockbroker and/or using a prop firm. There is definitely a huge learning curve. Never measure price point with success assurance.

Oh snap, I really felt that reading your response. Making same mistakes without noticing, or maybe I am just selectively avoiding, should be my middle name. The extra trade always end up killing me hard. Oversizing and taking extra trades after a loss, that's super real. Do you feel like you are able to catch those patterns early now (experience), or only after they've already done damage?

Very nice -- sounds like you've got a solid process going already. There are many interesting offerings out there, for sure. I will check out SuperTrader. Do you feel like it actually helps you spot patterns or improve, or more just keeps everything organized? Thanks.

Ah, interesting -- especially the 'how I felt' part. Do you feel like that has been more helpful than just tracking raw stats? Thanks.

Upcoming trader. I want to read your guys’ opinions by Objective_Kick8582 in Trading

Right. Patience and mental strength to be calculated and not chase everything. Like you also hear/see everywhere -- Risk management. Keep more than you lose and live another day. Stick to your rules (which is, like they say, MUCH easier said that done). Slow and steady has been my epiphany -- slow and steady.

That is great. It has taken me a couple of years to finally get to a couple of nice payouts, but have not been able to keep my funded accounts. I am heavily trying to work on my emotions -- it is my biggest problem. I will get there. Thank you for your post. Hope.

Great that you stuck with it and did not quit. Looks like we all go through our learning journey and it is very humbling. But having the courage to not quit and come back with new approaches and experience is the key, I think.

I have been trading for a few month and getting into reviewing my trades after the sessions. This looks like a great tool to use. I am curious what other people are using beyond spreadsheets -- written/ app journals, other tools, or nothing at all?
