TOPIC: 365 Days of Doing What I Want Even If I'm Scared Shitless To Do It

[Day 38 of 365 days of doing what I want even if I'm scared shitless to do it]
[Or if it even feels like wrong. or I'm a bad person for doing so.]

Complimented two people today out in the street.

Forcing myself to be social in the few moments I am outside. Weather has been absolute shit.

Other notes, diet is going swell. This new protein doesn't make my stomach feel like shit all which is incredible. By the time the new year is around, I'm going to be insanely lean which is going to make growing insanely easy.

Did some sprints. Hit up to 20 MPH. Holy shit. I think I got another gear in me.

Maybe can hit 22 MPH with really zeroing in on form.

Cleaned up my place.

God it feels amazing to have that taken care of. Threw out a bunch of old clothes I'll never wear. Threw tons of shoes that I'll never wear. Threw out old equipment that I'll never use. Goodbye to all this useless junk. It was good while it lasted.

I'm looking forward to seeing how trading this week. If I go up another 50% with how I planned out trades,
then I'm seriously stoked with how I'm going to make progress six months from now.

Till tomorrow.

PS: I had plans to go out to buy clothes this weekend but I thought I wasn't getting paid till monday. Surprise surprise when I saw the money in my account sunday night. hahahaha. Oh well. Till next weekend then.

PPS: The BJJ spot is closed till pandemic is over. And with a second wave of lockdown coming in, yeah it's probably not opening until sometime next year. Fuck these corrurpt bastards man. Sweden [or one of those countries] has been not doing lockdowns and they are completely fine. These jack-offs are really getting off on some BS power plays.

Lame sauce about the BJJ place closing. All the hockey rinks just closed down here too. And the studio photoshoot I booked might shut down too.

But where there's a will there's a way. I'm going to take photos this week no matter what. Might hit up like 50 local photographers on IG and see if I can get any of them to take photos of me and I can hopefully get the studio look I'm dreaming of in post.

On the BJJ side, I wouldn't be surprised if dudes are unofficially still practicing. Maybe you'll find them on IG / facebook. Or if you're coastal, surfing's still an option - they can't close down the ocean. I just can't wait until hell freezes over here and I can play pond hockey.

Protein shake: what kind are you using dude? I actually had to switch to protein bars as I was also having some trouble with my shakes.

Go crush it with your trades this week.

This. The lights went off at my local gym, but they’re still letting people sneak in through the back to get a lift in. So definitely go and check it out. I wouldn’t expect them to post about it on social media though.

Mixed feelings about how today went.

Woke up late.

Felt exhausted. Coffee detox sucks. Trades where a mixed bag today. Honestly, should've been up $300 today which would've been halfway on my goals for this week on that but I didn't trust myself on the trade and panicked.

Sucks because I then watch this shit run while I went down $100. Sucks.

That left me in a bit of a funk because I spotted another trade but since I was in that mode, I didn't take it and it ran too. Fuck.

Good things. I'm spotting them more and more.

Bad. Trust myself more.

Worked out. Gonna shower. Hit the market buy a gallon of water for today. And write some copy tonight.

Ain't got nothing else to do lol.

Roger. Here's the protein I'm using.

Got a 50% and 100% winner today. Made back what I lost yesterday.

If I had more funds, I would've definitely been in on two more trades that I called. I wrote it down, checked in an hour later and sure enough, they fucking ran. I love it. One step back. Two steps forward.

Food is going well. Going to write some copy now while I let the market setlle.

Had a 10% loss today. All good though.

It was a dumb trade upon revision but good thing, I learn to cut my loss quick because man did that shit turn.

GOOD NEWS THOUGH.

I had a list of trades I believe would go higher upon the opening bell. I hit 10 out of 16 trade ideas.

One of them which was one I really liked SHOT UP LIKE A NO-NUT NOVEMBER NUT.

I'm starting to get real on the ball on this shit.

I know most of you have no idea as to wtf I'm talking about but who knows...

Maybe six months from now, with a huge trading account, you're going to be like how do I do that. I wouldn't be surprised.

I'd say I have a 20% idea what you're talking about 80% no idea

I tried bitcoin, altcoin, stablecoin trading / betting a few years ago so I have some idea. But obviously very little idea what your strategy is. But in any case, it's cool seeing your excitement. It bleeds into your writing.

If you still have some bitcoin from a couple of years, keep holding it!

More trades spotted.

But I missed the move in the morning. I figured out why though.

Made some refinements to my process. Will test again tomorrow morning.

I almost have it.

I'm now consistently identifying the big moves for the next day.

It's just this morning that once I get it, once I refine a process for that, I'm out. I can't wait to test tomorrow.

And that's one hell of a week I've had.

After looking at all the things I did right this week in trading, I believe I have found a method that will work for me.

When I reviewed all my trade calls this week, the big mover and the one 150% winner, had three things in common.

1. They were trending stocks.
2. They had retraced back to a moving average. [Most of the time, they hit the 10-day MA.]
3. They had shown continuous support to that moving average either the day before or throughout the past couple of trading days.

With that in mind, I know what to do now and what to look for when next week comes around.

Upon closing, I will send a small amount no more than $50 as a scout to each move I have in mind. I will only allow 3-5 open positions. Throughout the week I kept finding re-entry positions. With these small amounts acting as "'scouts"

I force myself to commit and watch ONLY these few moves.

A big problem I was having this week, while I was consistently finding stocks that moved, I had TOO MANY on my morning watchlist. By limiting myself, I do addition by subtraction. I'm looking forward to next week.

Now, regarding the $50, the reason why I'm not worried about that is because ONE it's money that's w.e.

I can play with that. But more importantly, it's following the same principle some of the more prolific investors in the game do. Once they identify a move, investment, or a trade that can create an asymmetrical return, they go in on it.

And they find those opportunities by sending out "scouts" small amounts just so they can force themselves to keep track of their position.

If it's good enough for the best in the game, it's good enough for me.

Last thing, I also learned about day counts and how they fit in to this puzzle.

3 to 5 days of upward movement seem to be the max.

Till monday.

PS: By following the above, I identified another 100%+ trade today. but because I was watching too many stocks, I panicked out of it. For no reason too. That was really fucking stupid. Damn.

Hey man, it's pretty cool you offering your insight and everything you learned this week.

How often do you watch the stocks? I'm thinking of giving this a try if it's just on open and close. If it's more than that, I might try to write a script to do the same thing. I have a trading bot for bitcoin markets already, I wonder how general those trading guidelines are..

I review a list of stocks I have every night.

In this case, it’ll start being at 3 PM so I can send my scout for the morning.

How’s your trading bot doing ?
