5 ICT: Alright guys, we are looking at some of the journals
6
7 2
8 00:00:04,890 --> 00:00:10,800
9 that I use when I'm logging all my experiences for the week.
10
11 3
12 00:00:11,610 --> 00:00:15,390
13 And I'm gonna give you a just a snapshot Obviously, I'm not
14
15 4
16 00:00:15,390 --> 00:00:21,660
17 gonna give you everything because journals are personal. And
18
19 5
20 00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:31,170
21 this is a brand new one, so it's a virgin. You can see it's
22
23 6
24 00:00:33,060 --> 00:00:36,870
25 very nice, nice leather. Now you don't have to go into
26
27 7
28 00:00:37,050 --> 00:00:39,930
29 journaling, like this. I've always used journals like this
30
31 8
32 00:00:39,930 --> 00:00:44,970
33 for at least the last 16 years or so. I wanted this style.
34
35 9
36 00:00:45,390 --> 00:00:52,500
37 This is actually a beautiful paper, it feels like linen. So
38
39 10
40 00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:54,960
41 I'm not sure if it would be something that you like to do,
42
43 11
44 00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,570
45 but for me, I've always found it. Just it's the hand submits
46
47 12
48 00:01:00,570 --> 00:01:04,470
49 it to me, I look at my recordings and my journal entries as
50
51 13
52 00:01:04,470 --> 00:01:09,090
53 something that's well intimate and precious to me. And I'm
54
55 14
56 00:01:09,090 --> 00:01:13,620
57 going to put them in something that's going to be. Well,
58
59 15
60 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,420
61 interesting. Okay, it's not a plain white piece of paper. So
62
63 16
64 00:01:18,420 --> 00:01:23,670
65 what I generally do is every entry is all of this over here
66
67 17
68 00:01:23,670 --> 00:01:29,190
69 has trade related things. Things, I'm looking for key levels
70
71 18
72 00:01:29,340 --> 00:01:33,720
73 of potential setups, and over here will give me things that
74
75 19
76 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,240
77 I have to worry about in terms of psychological things,
78
79 20
80 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,870
81 things that I'm going through on a personal level, which is
82
83 21
84 00:01:39,870 --> 00:01:42,570
85 the reason why you're not going to see my journal because I
86
87 22
88 00:01:42,570 --> 00:01:44,430
89 don't want to go through the process of only looking at it
90
91 23
92 00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:47,520
93 like this. And it doesn't give you a real clear depiction of
94
95 24
96 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,750
97 what I use for journal and I'm going to give you really the,
98
99 25
100 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:59,580
101 the view of what it looks like in a snapshot view what I get
102
103 26
104 00:01:59,580 --> 00:02:03,570
105 these off Amazon, I used to pay a little bit more than I do
106
107 27
108 00:02:03,570 --> 00:02:06,780
109 now, getting it from the producer, but for whatever reason
110
111 28
112 00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:10,800
113 they sell them on Amazon for a better price. So I buy about
114
115 29
116 00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:16,170
117 12 to 15 of them at a time. So it gives me approximately
118
119 30
120 00:02:16,170 --> 00:02:20,790
121 about 1314 months. So it usually takes me to get through one
122
123 31
124 00:02:20,790 --> 00:02:27,120
125 journal and also journal. My my dreams I've done this since
126
127 32
128 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,170
129 I was a teenager. So this isn't really anything to do with
130
131 33
132 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,300
133 trading, but I got asked that talk about that as well. I'm
134
135 34
136 00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:38,610
137 not sure why this question is important in terms of
138
139 35
140 00:02:38,610 --> 00:02:42,780
141 answering but this is the pen of asked what pen I use in my
142
143 36
144 00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:47,910
145 journal. And I use this one simply because the paper and my
146
147 37
148 00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:52,980
149 journals are just really nice. It takes that ink very well.
150
151 38
152 00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:56,460
153 But here's what you probably been waiting for. And it's not
154
155 39
156 00:02:56,460 --> 00:03:01,050
157 overwhelming. No. But this is generally what my My journal
158
159 40
160 00:03:01,050 --> 00:03:05,010
161 entries look like I sit down and I usually doodle something.
162
163 41
164 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,370
165 And I apologize if you hear anything outside because they're
166
167 42
168 00:03:08,370 --> 00:03:12,210
169 installing a new heating element in my driveway. So when it
170
171 43
172 00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:15,240
173 gets cold, it'll be able to melt this now and such, but
174
175 44
176 00:03:15,570 --> 00:03:21,480
177 usually some kind of a doodle or draw. And just, I've always
178
179 45
180 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:28,050
181 done that. So they may not always be Asian centered, or
182
183 46
184 00:03:28,050 --> 00:03:31,740
185 martial arts centering, but there's usually some kind of a
186
187 47
188 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,720
189 doodle shots in the lower right hand corner of the journal
190
191 48
192 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,170
193 here. And then I just write down the information that has my
194
195 49
196 00:03:40,170 --> 00:03:44,580
197 expectations for the week. And this was my Monday's journal
198
199 50
200 00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:51,780
201 entry in this journal. You can see like I said, if if people
202
203 51
204 00:03:51,780 --> 00:03:53,910
205 see these things, it doesn't really mean a whole lot to
206
207 52
208 00:03:53,910 --> 00:03:56,400
209 anyone, especially if you're not familiar with mine
210
211 53
212 00:03:56,610 --> 00:04:01,530
213 information and my concepts but things before For, and this
214
215 54
216 00:04:01,530 --> 00:04:05,550
217 is, again, one small little area where I'm not trying to
218
219 55
220 00:04:05,550 --> 00:04:09,390
221 make that public. These are personal things that are on my
222
223 56
224 00:04:09,390 --> 00:04:13,080
225 mind. And I do a wellness in focus things I'm going to be
226
227 57
228 00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:18,090
229 worrying about conquering for that particular trading day or
230
231 58
232 00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:20,760
233 week and keeping them in focus. And then I have the weekly
234
235 59
236 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,430
237 calendar, big rocks, which is basically the events I'm
238
239 60
240 00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:26,400
241 looking for, that's going to be more impactful for the week.
242
243 61
244 00:04:27,090 --> 00:04:31,800
245 And then I go up here and I record what my expectations are
246
247 62
248 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,140
249 what I'm expecting to see things that are going to filter
250
251 63
252 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:38,370
253 for my trade decisions. And I try to keep them really short
254
255 64
256 00:04:38,370 --> 00:04:40,410
257 and sweet and try not to have a whole lot of things and
258
259 65
260 00:04:40,410 --> 00:04:44,010
261 moving parts, and I put in something that would be a filter
262
263 66
264 00:04:44,190 --> 00:04:47,130
265 that would keep me from either participating again, or
266
267 67
268 00:04:47,130 --> 00:04:51,390
269 engaging or what it would take for me to change my mind and
270
271 68
272 00:04:51,390 --> 00:04:54,240
273 move to the sidelines. So anyway, I hope we found this
274
275 69
276 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,460
277 insightful and I'll talk to you next time.
