3 ICT: Alright guys, we are looking at some of the journals
4
5 2
6 00:00:04,890 --> 00:00:10,800
7 that I use when I'm logging all my experiences for the week.
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.
