For the second trading day in a row, I had missed winning trades I should have taken.
Somehow I was just a bit too late to notice the setup in time… again.
With any trading system, the big winning trades make the system profitable.
The first day this happened I thought, “No big deal. This system has plenty of profitable trades – I’ll get most of them.”
After reviewing my trades after the second day it happened, it became clear this leak was not acceptable. I had to plug it!
So for the next few days, I recorded my screen while I traded.
After each market close, I watched the video of my session from that day.
What did I learn?
My trading routine wasn’t nearly as systematic as I thought it was.
My chart layout could be improved.
The way I calculated position size for each trade took far too much time.
I was missing trades because there was all sorts of sloppiness in my routine I wasn’t even aware of.
So here’s a challenge for you.
For the next day or two, record your trading session. Then go back as a neutral observer and review it after the close.
I guarantee you will find multiple ways to get better.
Concrete changes you can make immediately.
Try this and let me know what you uncover.
