Day 20 of DayTradingJournal: Today I did my first test of the algo that I have been trying to make. I put it live right from the morning and let it take all the trades that comes its way. Surprisingly, the algo did very well. (I think if I did manually, I might not have been so good). Learnings for today: Keep the faith on the system, it pays well. Since TV does...

Day 19 of DayTradingJournal : Good day today, the algo performed as expected. Gave correct signals and fired correct signals to broker account. Tried tweaking some more, but then after running on dummy account realised that the existing setup is better, so will continue with it tomorrow as well. Tomorrow, will let all signals go through the algo and see how it...

Day 18 of DayTradingJournal: Today was a good day with my algo finally doing as expected. Had this issue since last two days, though I had fixed it up last night, however, realised a small bug had crept up, was taking data from one set and applying to another set and expecting correct results. Obviously wrong, got it resolved and then tested it. The algo now gave...

Day 17 of DayTradingJournal: Today was a very boring day if you are only into trading. I got busy on working on my algo since it was not yet ready and I was not getting response as expected, still working, hopefully should progress little bit by tomorrow. So, a productive, busy day, but no trading.

Day 16 of DayTradingJournal: As its with me and Mondays, weekend made me lose my sync with the market, took some manual trades looking at the charts and ended up making losses. Did some more coding on the algo yesterday which did not work properly on the broker's account today and hence was tied up in resolving that. Got resolved by day end, so hopefully tomorrow...

Day 13 of day trading journal. Stayed away as could not login in the morning, so could not get insync with the market. Let the algo run and do paper trade for records and understanding and faith on the system....worked out well, will continue.

Day 12 of day trading journal. Good thing about today : No impulsive trades, no panic, no FOMO Paper trade on my excel based algo gave good results (better than my manual trading).

Continuation of making of excel based algo. Success in testing it out on ETH-USD. Will see by next week if I can get this thing done for NSE stocks as well.

Day 11: Took an impulsive trade, lizard brain got me again. Need more consciousness to control it. Need more practice. Other than that, logic seems to be working good, strategy seems to be profitable, only issue is with practice so that lizard brain can be brought under control. Hate the market timings - very few hours to practice, the first hour just goes in...

Day 10, thought of punting ( front running) and got in before getting the signal. Bad idea. The signal never came and had to take a loss. Learning for today. Achievement for today: Did not feel frustrated waiting, did not take more than two trades.

Continuing on the efforts of trying to build a habit of consistently trading on a single strategy.

Not a good day today. Ususally that happens on Mondays... I am not in sync with the market as it remains closed for two days on weekends.

Tried testing my strategy in excel so that in future this could be automated.

Learning of today: 1. Have patience........... more than 4 hours as long as your SL is not hit. 2. Have faith in your system, do not take short exits, let the market come to you.

Day 6: Had the idea of chasing the trend, however, realised that I am not yet ready for it. The SL was very far off and hence was sceptical of taking the plunge. Upon confirmation candle, did take the stand; and it turned out to be correct, got out at expected target. Learning: 1. Waiting for confirmation definitely helps 2. Do not doubt the system even in an...

Day 5 Experimented with 15 min chart to see if it can help identify the major trend for the day. Untill now I used to look at 1 hr chart to judge on major trend. Looks promising and delivers within the day. Will follow 15 min chart to see if can help me identify the trend correctly, consistently.
