Great video I got some value from this interview!!!! And I'm going to start back using a trading journal!!

I agree with him. When I started trading, I would try different things paper trading and would hold long to see my strategy limits. Live trading j would unconsciously do the same and go from being green to red. Took me a little time to break that habit and take profits and go

This was a top 5 video. Thanks Etienne.

I've found that putting your exact trading plan in a weekly/monthly planner keeps me focused. Like for example. If the SPY meets this criteria I will buy 10 calls, etc. Will hold for 30 minutes and re-evalate.

@Etienne Crete - Desire To TRADE, I really like what you are doing but this guy just another wanna be FX Mentor who can’t trade himself with his very own real capital of his as he have psychological issues like many trades do or might don’t still trust his strategy. Kind of another Students fetching way for him.
