so this wall has alway's helped me get my thinking together so i'm posting today about how my motivation has been flagging a little *cough LOT *cough. lately. i'm still working at becoming a consistent trader, but i'm just finding it really difficult to keep studying, or to keep looking for pattern's amongst the panic's. which is the only setup that i'm looking either at or for. i'm starting to get to the point where it is only refining on my ability to read level two and read the t and s. and getting to the point where i'm confident with clicking the button. granted the last point is nowhere near yet. i'm still very nervous half the time to click. last friday i had a good trade opportunity which i didn't take despite it being a great setup on a multiday runner just like i like. and it was mostly me being nervous about taking a setup within a daily chart pattern that i havn't explicitly seen before. granted that this is a decision that is often well regarded amongst other trader's. but back to the point at hand. I wonder if this modicum of successwhere i'm buying at reasonably decent spots is hurting me in that i'm not getting optimised (by learning from and mostly analysing) chart's to generate new trading idea's. beat's me. i have been thnding to think that it's a temporary thing though due to my decision to drop my polytphasic sleep schedule this last week, which could be it very easily. we'll see though.
