Hey everyone :tiphat:
Through this journal it is my intention first and foremost to keep track of my progress. Besides that I will discuss and reflect on psychology, strategy and backtesting, and my interest in fallacies.
Over the past weeks I have dived into the S&P futures market yet again, after 4-5 months of strict focus on the forex markets(which I still update on my blog).
I used to try and swing trade the ES futures on tick charts - with trades lasting on average a few minutes. Back then I felt rather certain that I was just about to have my breakthrough, that my equity curve would start rising somewhat consistently. This didn't happen however, and I would often have a small win one day just to have a small loss the next - overall a progress that seemed somewhat arbitrary.
Things that worked well 'back then' :
-Slavishly keeping to trading plan(see my blog)
Things that presented difficulty :
-Being to eager to close trades(limiting risk too much)
