3. Weekly summary
- When i get “flow” in US500 i am consistently able to do money. Once i lost it for a second or just stick to charts loose it all. I think it may be similar thing like with emails in ESAB.
- You did it before and forgot to do again – go for specific daily profits and do it over and over again.
- Too big leverage, too big position too often, overtrading
