When you make a real commitment, you know that a successful outcome will only materialize as a result of executing the proper steps. You commit to a process—and you embrace the journey. To become a great trader you MUST get your attention off the money and on process.

I executed ITMG poorly, though luck bailed me out.

  1. I bought PTBA half position, then it didn’t directly work out.
  2. Do not pre-empt ITMG @21600, and thinking will wait if crossing 21800 as the white paper. (btw. this was a good decision).
  3. While playing with my phone, ITMG just blasted through 21850 and I failed to capture it. This is a bad execution. I don’t know what happen before. Either demand push 3-4 ladder or one at a time.
  4. resting order @12800 then price drop and pick my order. (this was luck not skill)

the difference between journaling your modelling of the market and journaling the trade of your execution. The modelling of the market has to be right. If your market model is wrong then it doesn’t matter how good you get at execution, you are going to lose money.

hard work doesn’t make the most money, discipline makes the money.
