It's Not How You Start But How You Finish

We’re wrapping up the first quarter of the year. It’s a great time to face the music.

Reflecting isn’t always easy but there couldn’t be a better time to acknowledge the truth and implement accordingly.

Most of the time, we think about the outcomes of the day. Today’s trading result can easily influence the tempo of the day if you let it. Looking at the bigger picture and reminding yourself of your definition of a successful trading day makes all the difference.

When you zoom out and see what you've really done over a quarter, it gives you a better perspective of who you really are.

I believe we get paid for who we are most of the time.

This is the first major checkpoint of 2024.

How did you do relative to your goals? 

What has made you a better trader this year?

What could you do more of? 

What could you do less of? 

Do I feel entitled to anything? If so, why?

Instead of diving deep into these questions today and giving you my insight on them, I think you’re better off spending some time with your own thoughts instead. Get comfortable with the tough questions of the journey.

Trade disciplined my friends.
