How do I know when my trading is going well? When I don't even notice that it's going well. Before recording this video if you would have asked me how September was going in the Live Ratio Room I probably would have shrugged and said "okay, I guess." But after checking out the statistics we're actually having an above average month. One of the main comments I receive after a trader spends some time in my trading room, is that I am consistent and robotic. This means I follow the same routine daily in my premarket analysis, live trading analysis, and post market analysis. As you can guess doing the same thing over and over again, day after day can get really boring , but as my trading mentor once told me, if you're trading seems boring, that means you're doing it right. No longer do I step into the market hoping to catch a good trade, or looking to have a million pip day. That was the old Akil, when trading was more like gambling and I needed a certain amount of action to feed that itch. These days my mindset is more "if a trade comes it comes, if it doesn't, then I'll just wait." Yes it makes for some slow days (and weeks on the swing trading side of things) but as a result I find myself entering less stupid trades and therefore giving back less of my hard earned profit.
