Re: I took the week off - feel lost

Excellent journal entry. One thing you might want to keep a list of is your mistakes for the day at the bottom or top. It's for quick peruse of how you did for the day. I.e.

Mistakes today:
#1 -- Didn't honor my target profit today
#2 -- Took a signal that was NOT part of the plan

I use this list to compare against previous days/weeks/months to see my progress on eliminating these mistakes. I think it was Longstreet who said "the team that win is the team that commit the least mistakes".

Re: I took the week off - feel lost

Good idea, I didn't trade yesterday (Tuesday) because I had to work at my other job and I took the opportunity to sleep in a little bit. But I will definitely add that in my next entries.
