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.
