If you notice the timestamps of most of the posts, you'll see I normally start them after the morning session, or sometimes after the DAX session but before the U.S. session ... in other words, during times when I typically wouldn't -- or shouldn't -- be trading.<BR/><BR/>And since I tend do most of my trading in the A.M., I'm not usually doing anything other than focusing on trading, and then the first post is often from memory here as well.<BR/><BR/>I do recall a couple of times since I started this where I lost focus because I was typing, but it's been rarer than I would have thought.<BR/><BR/>DonDon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263493919935087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-709390629316238746.post-30067036466460349832008-09-27T11:43:00.000-04:002008-09-27T11:43:00.000-04:00Don,This post about pre-blog and post-blog is inte...Don,<BR/><BR/>This post about pre-blog and post-blog is interesting in regards to timing. I just noticed my own trading journal has gotten a little wordy lately, as if I'm trying to explain myself intra-day (to my future self I guess as my trading journal is private). <BR/><BR/>I went back to review periods of sustained success and noticed that I'm better at staying focused during the day if I leave the narrative for close of business. Granted, most of those end-of-day notes are from memory, but I find the simultaneous trading/narrating to be a big distraction for me.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to the traders lounge.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098814541454357567noreply@blogger.com
