2 +|1 |00:00:01,170 ~-~-> 00:00:14,760 |ICT: Alright guys, we are looking at some of the journals that I use. When I'm logging all my experiences for the week and give you a just a snapshot,
3 +|2 |00:00:14,790 ~-~-> 00:00:33,780 |obviously, I'm not going to give you everything because journals are personal. And this is a brand new one, so it's a virgin. As you can see, it's very nice,
4 +|3 |00:00:34,200 ~-~-> 00:00:44,970 |nice leather. Now you don't have to go into journaling, like this, I've always used journals like this for at least last 16 years or so I went to this style,
5 +|4 |00:00:45,510 ~-~-> 00:00:59,760 |this is actually a beautiful paper, it feels like linen. So I'm not sure if it would be something you'd like to do. But for me, I've always found it. Just the
6 +|5 |00:00:59,760 ~-~-> 00:01:10,410 |handsome it's it to me, I look at my recordings and my journal entries as something that's well intimate and precious to me. And I want to put them in
7 +|6 |00:01:10,410 ~-~-> 00:01:23,670 |something that's going to be well, interesting. Okay, it's not a plain white piece of paper. So what I generally do is every entry is all of this over here
8 +|7 |00:01:23,670 ~-~-> 00:01:35,040 |has trade related things. Things I'm looking for key levels of potential setups in over here will give me things that I have to worry about in terms of
9 +|8 |00:01:35,040 ~-~-> 00:01:43,020 |psychological things, things that I'm going through on a personal level, which is the reason why you're not going to see my journal, because I don't want to go
10 +|9 |00:01:43,020 ~-~-> 00:01:51,330 |through the process of only looking at it like this. And it doesn't give you a real clear depiction of what I use for a journal. And I'm going to give you
11 +|10 |00:01:51,330 ~-~-> 00:02:05,310 |really the the view of what it looks like. In a snapshot view what I get these off of Amazon, I used to pay a little bit more than I do now, getting it from
12 +|11 |00:02:05,310 ~-~-> 00:02:16,170 |the producer, but for whatever reason they sell them on Amazon for a better price. So I buy about 12 to 15 of them at a time. So it gives me approximately
13 +|12 |00:02:16,170 ~-~-> 00:02:29,640 |about 1314 months. So it usually takes me to get through one journal, and also journal. My my dreams I've I've done this since I was a teenager. So this isn't
14 +|13 |00:02:29,640 ~-~-> 00:02:40,320 |really anything to do with trading. But I got asked to talk about that as well. I'm not sure why this question is important in terms of answering. But this is
15 +|14 |00:02:40,320 ~-~-> 00:02:54,000 |the pen of asked what pen I use my journal. And I use this one simply because the paper in my journals are just really nice. It takes that ink very well. But
16 +|15 |00:02:54,060 ~-~-> 00:03:03,540 |here's what you probably been waiting for. And it's not overwhelming, no. But this is generally what my, my journal entries look like, I sit down and I
17 +|16 |00:03:03,540 ~-~-> 00:03:12,900 |usually doodle something. And I apologize if you hear anything outside because they're installing a new heating element in my driveway. So when it gets cold,
18 +|17 |00:03:12,900 ~-~-> 00:03:27,330 |it'll be able to melt the snow and such. But I usually some kind of doodle or draw. And just I've always done that. So they may not always be Asian centered,
19 +|18 |00:03:27,840 ~-~-> 00:03:38,640 |or martial arts centered. But there's usually some kind of a doodle or sets in the lower right hand corner of the journal here. And then I just write down the
20 +|19 |00:03:38,640 ~-~-> 00:03:52,380 |information that has my expectations for the week. And this was my Monday's journal entry in this journal, you can see, like I said, if if people see these
21 +|20 |00:03:52,380 ~-~-> 00:04:01,320 |things, it doesn't really mean a whole lot to anyone, especially if you're not familiar with my information and my concepts. But the things I'm looking for in
22 +|21 |00:04:01,320 ~-~-> 00:04:12,150 |this is, again, one smaller area where I'm not trying to make that public. These are personal things that are on my mind. And I do have a wellness and a focus
23 +|22 |00:04:12,330 ~-~-> 00:04:21,330 |things I'm going to be worrying about conquering for that particular trading day or week and keeping them in focus. And then I have the weekly calendar big
24 +|23 |00:04:21,330 ~-~-> 00:04:30,990 |rocks, which is basically the events that I'm looking for, that's going to be more impactful for the week. And then I go up here and record what my
25 +|24 |00:04:30,990 ~-~-> 00:04:38,940 |expectations are what I'm expecting to see things that are going to filter for my trade decisions. And I've tried to keep them really short and sweet and try
26 +|25 |00:04:38,940 ~-~-> 00:04:47,160 |not to have a whole lot of things and moving parts and I put in something that would be a filter that would keep me from either participating again, or
27 +|26 |00:04:47,160 ~-~-> 00:04:56,220 |engaging or what it would take for me to change my mind and move to the sidelines. So anyway, I hope we found this insightful and I'll talk to you next
28 +|27 |00:04:56,220 ~-~-> 00:04:56,490 |time.

29 -8

31 -for at least the last 16 years or so. I wanted this style.

35 -This is actually a beautiful paper, it feels like linen. So
36 -
37 -10
38 -00:00:52,530 ~-~-> 00:00:54,960
39 -I'm not sure if it would be something that you like to do,
40 -
41 -11
42 -00:00:54,960 ~-~-> 00:01:00,570
43 -but for me, I've always found it. Just it's the hand submits
44 -
45 -12
46 -00:01:00,570 ~-~-> 00:01:04,470
47 -it to me, I look at my recordings and my journal entries as
48 -
49 -13
50 -00:01:04,470 ~-~-> 00:01:09,090
51 -something that's well intimate and precious to me. And I'm
52 -
53 -14
54 -00:01:09,090 ~-~-> 00:01:13,620
55 -going to put them in something that's going to be. Well,
56 -
57 -15
58 -00:01:14,760 ~-~-> 00:01:18,420
59 -interesting. Okay, it's not a plain white piece of paper. So
60 -
61 -16
62 -00:01:18,420 ~-~-> 00:01:23,670
63 -what I generally do is every entry is all of this over here

65 -17
66 -00:01:23,670 ~-~-> 00:01:29,190
67 -has trade related things. Things, I'm looking for key levels
68 -
69 -18
70 -00:01:29,340 ~-~-> 00:01:33,720
71 -of potential setups, and over here will give me things that
72 -
73 -19
74 -00:01:33,720 ~-~-> 00:01:36,240
75 -I have to worry about in terms of psychological things,
76 -
77 -20
78 -00:01:36,720 ~-~-> 00:01:39,870
79 -things that I'm going through on a personal level, which is
80 -
81 -21
82 -00:01:39,870 ~-~-> 00:01:42,570
83 -the reason why you're not going to see my journal because I
84 -
85 -22
86 -00:01:42,570 ~-~-> 00:01:44,430
87 -don't want to go through the process of only looking at it
88 -
89 -23
90 -00:01:44,430 ~-~-> 00:01:47,520
91 -like this. And it doesn't give you a real clear depiction of
92 -
93 -24
94 -00:01:48,240 ~-~-> 00:01:51,750
95 -what I use for journal and I'm going to give you really the,
96 -
97 -25
98 -00:01:52,200 ~-~-> 00:01:59,580
99 -the view of what it looks like in a snapshot view what I get
100 -
101 -26
102 -00:01:59,580 ~-~-> 00:02:03,570
103 -these off Amazon, I used to pay a little bit more than I do
104 -
105 -27
106 -00:02:03,570 ~-~-> 00:02:06,780
107 -now, getting it from the producer, but for whatever reason
108 -
109 -28
110 -00:02:06,780 ~-~-> 00:02:10,800
111 -they sell them on Amazon for a better price. So I buy about
112 -
113 -29
114 -00:02:10,860 ~-~-> 00:02:16,170
115 -12 to 15 of them at a time. So it gives me approximately
116 -
117 -30
118 -00:02:16,170 ~-~-> 00:02:20,790
119 -about 1314 months. So it usually takes me to get through one
120 -
121 -31
122 -00:02:20,790 ~-~-> 00:02:27,120
123 -journal and also journal. My my dreams I've done this since
124 -
125 -32
126 -00:02:27,120 ~-~-> 00:02:31,170
127 -I was a teenager. So this isn't really anything to do with
128 -
129 -33
130 -00:02:31,200 ~-~-> 00:02:36,300
131 -trading, but I got asked that talk about that as well. I'm
132 -
133 -34
134 -00:02:36,300 ~-~-> 00:02:38,610
135 -not sure why this question is important in terms of
136 -
137 -35
138 -00:02:38,610 ~-~-> 00:02:42,780
139 -answering but this is the pen of asked what pen I use in my
140 -
141 -36
142 -00:02:42,780 ~-~-> 00:02:47,910
143 -journal. And I use this one simply because the paper and my
144 -
145 -37
146 -00:02:47,910 ~-~-> 00:02:52,980
147 -journals are just really nice. It takes that ink very well.
148 -
149 -38
150 -00:02:53,610 ~-~-> 00:02:56,460
151 -But here's what you probably been waiting for. And it's not
152 -
153 -39
154 -00:02:56,460 ~-~-> 00:03:01,050
155 -overwhelming. No. But this is generally what my My journal
156 -
157 -40
158 -00:03:01,050 ~-~-> 00:03:05,010
159 -entries look like I sit down and I usually doodle something.
160 -
161 -41
162 -00:03:05,280 ~-~-> 00:03:08,370
163 -And I apologize if you hear anything outside because they're
164 -
165 -42
166 -00:03:08,370 ~-~-> 00:03:12,210
167 -installing a new heating element in my driveway. So when it
168 -
169 -43
170 -00:03:12,300 ~-~-> 00:03:15,240
171 -gets cold, it'll be able to melt this now and such, but
172 -
173 -44
174 -00:03:15,570 ~-~-> 00:03:21,480
175 -usually some kind of a doodle or draw. And just, I've always
176 -
177 -45
178 -00:03:21,480 ~-~-> 00:03:28,050
179 -done that. So they may not always be Asian centered, or
180 -
181 -46
182 -00:03:28,050 ~-~-> 00:03:31,740
183 -martial arts centering, but there's usually some kind of a
184 -
185 -47
186 -00:03:32,160 ~-~-> 00:03:36,720
187 -doodle shots in the lower right hand corner of the journal
188 -
189 -48
190 -00:03:36,720 ~-~-> 00:03:40,170
191 -here. And then I just write down the information that has my
192 -
193 -49
194 -00:03:40,170 ~-~-> 00:03:44,580
195 -expectations for the week. And this was my Monday's journal
196 -
197 -50
198 -00:03:44,580 ~-~-> 00:03:51,780
199 -entry in this journal. You can see like I said, if if people
200 -
201 -51
202 -00:03:51,780 ~-~-> 00:03:53,910
203 -see these things, it doesn't really mean a whole lot to
204 -
205 -52
206 -00:03:53,910 ~-~-> 00:03:56,400
207 -anyone, especially if you're not familiar with mine
208 -
209 -53
210 -00:03:56,610 ~-~-> 00:04:01,530
211 -information and my concepts but things before For, and this
212 -
213 -54
214 -00:04:01,530 ~-~-> 00:04:05,550
215 -is, again, one small little area where I'm not trying to
216 -
217 -55
218 -00:04:05,550 ~-~-> 00:04:09,390
219 -make that public. These are personal things that are on my
220 -
221 -56
222 -00:04:09,390 ~-~-> 00:04:13,080
223 -mind. And I do a wellness in focus things I'm going to be
224 -
225 -57
226 -00:04:13,140 ~-~-> 00:04:18,090
227 -worrying about conquering for that particular trading day or
228 -
229 -58
230 -00:04:18,090 ~-~-> 00:04:20,760
231 -week and keeping them in focus. And then I have the weekly
232 -
233 -59
234 -00:04:20,760 ~-~-> 00:04:23,430
235 -calendar, big rocks, which is basically the events I'm
236 -
237 -60
238 -00:04:23,430 ~-~-> 00:04:26,400
239 -looking for, that's going to be more impactful for the week.
240 -
241 -61
242 -00:04:27,090 ~-~-> 00:04:31,800
243 -And then I go up here and I record what my expectations are
244 -
245 -62
246 -00:04:31,800 ~-~-> 00:04:34,140
247 -what I'm expecting to see things that are going to filter
248 -
249 -63
250 -00:04:34,950 ~-~-> 00:04:38,370
251 -for my trade decisions. And I try to keep them really short
252 -
253 -64
254 -00:04:38,370 ~-~-> 00:04:40,410
255 -and sweet and try not to have a whole lot of things and
256 -
257 -65
258 -00:04:40,410 ~-~-> 00:04:44,010
259 -moving parts, and I put in something that would be a filter
260 -
261 -66
262 -00:04:44,190 ~-~-> 00:04:47,130
263 -that would keep me from either participating again, or
264 -
265 -67
266 -00:04:47,130 ~-~-> 00:04:51,390
267 -engaging or what it would take for me to change my mind and
268 -
269 -68
270 -00:04:51,390 ~-~-> 00:04:54,240
271 -move to the sidelines. So anyway, I hope we found this
272 -
273 -69
274 -00:04:54,240 ~-~-> 00:04:56,460
275 -insightful and I'll talk to you next time.
