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.

8 +
9 +3
10 +00:00:11,610 ~-~-> 00:00:15,390
11 +And I'm gonna give you a just a snapshot Obviously, I'm not
12 +
13 +4
14 +00:00:15,390 ~-~-> 00:00:21,660
15 +gonna give you everything because journals are personal. And
16 +
17 +5
18 +00:00:23,220 ~-~-> 00:00:31,170
19 +this is a brand new one, so it's a virgin. You can see it's
20 +
21 +6
22 +00:00:33,060 ~-~-> 00:00:36,870
23 +very nice, nice leather. Now you don't have to go into
24 +
25 +7
26 +00:00:37,050 ~-~-> 00:00:39,930
27 +journaling, like this. I've always used journals like this
28 +
29 +8
30 +00:00:39,930 ~-~-> 00:00:44,970
31 +for at least the last 16 years or so. I wanted this style.
32 +
33 +9
34 +00:00:45,390 ~-~-> 00:00:52,500
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
64 +
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.
