Have you ever thought about grading your performance in the markets?
Whether you take the time after each position you exit or at the end of a trading session, grading your performance will shed light on your strengths and weaknesses. Was the set-up actually a perfect set-up or did you chase the entry a bit? Did you get too excited once your position was green and took profits too soon? It’s a mistake most new traders make. Think cents, you’ll get cents, think dollars, you’ll get dollars (or euro!)
Take the time to grade yourself on your performance and chances are over time you’ll see an overall improvement in your trading PnL.
