Missed another key inflection breakout today in the TF, 2 days in a row. No excuse for yesterday's. Today's however comes with TF bull leadership. An old friend but so long forgotten that I'd tossed it from the list. One's apprehensions and inclinations are what hold the best in Trader back from his best performance. One is reminded at such times of the Warhol quote, "I want to be a machine". One can never trade like a machine, however. And outside of trading it would hardly be an admired attribute. But trading from a Trade Plan can at least attempt to keep the Analyst at work after hours, and the Trader functioning at his job better within the session. Review your Trade Plan each day before going into battle. ...better still as a refresher once taken for granted to clear out the cobwebs of 'inclinations'. Be disciplined.
