Good diary, buddy, I wish you luck, everything is green for you.
It wasn�t easy to get here. Many times I was tempted to give up everything, but I understood that losses are only part of the process if you learn something from them. What saved me was to stop looking for the �magic strategy� and focus on being constant with only one. The market is not your enemy, it�s your mirror. It reflects your mistakes again and again until you accept them. From there, everything changes.
Today I closed the week with +3.1 %. It is not crazy, but after so much red, each green pip is celebrated as a victory. I no longer seek perfect operations, only consistent decisions. I learned that the key is not to gain more, but to lose less. Controlling the damage is more important than hunting huge profits.
To all those who think they will recover a -40 % in a week: good luck. This is a marathon, not a sprint. If you get carried away by anxiety, the only thing you will accelerate is your bankruptcy. I was there, I know what it feels like to see the account sink. But if you don't calm down and build a recovery plan step by step, you never get out of the hole.
I have begun to incorporate meditation before surgery. It seems ridiculous, but it helps me to avoid impulsive entries. 80% of my mistakes came from emotion, not from strategy. Working well is more mental than technical. If you don�t master your head, even the best system will not save you.
Today I lost an operation because I overoperated. I entered without validation, just because I was "feeling" that was going down. Result: -2.3 %. I deserved it. Sometimes the ego does you more harm than the market. But, well, I write it down and I get it. I no longer regret the mistakes, now I turn them into adjustments.
Current monthly performance: +8.9 %. The most important thing is that each entry now has logic behind it. No more bets disguised as trading. And that is noticed in the results. Drawdown is below 5% and negative operations are becoming less and less frequent.
There are days when not operating is the best operation. I spent the whole European session yesterday without doing anything. I was frustrated before that. I see it today as progress. Sometimes real growth is in patience, not in action.
