Weekly wrap up

What a week. I ended up slightly negative on the P&L for the week but consider it an overall success. I've been listening to 'Mind of a Trader' podcasts downloaded for free from iTunes, keeping an actual trading journal, setting a clear goal for each day, and being patient enough to almost completely avoid the 10min charts all together. Not too bad. This is a business and I am structuring my business in a way that I feel will lead me to success. The EURCHF trades are still working, they're just few and far between due to the extremely low volatility in that pair recently. My focus on the longer time period charts has slowed down my trading significantly, and I'm ok with that. I remember Richard Regan of Pro Trading Course saying that if he doesn't take a single trade all day, he's done his job well that day. Part of the 'job' or 'business' of being a trader is to protect your capital. If I'm vigilant and don't take a trade then that day was a success. Mack, from Blue-Point-Trading's stream likes to say that "there's always another bus". Dr. Steenbarger continues to be a great resource with his blog and I intend on reading all of his books as soon as I can free up some time.
