it's funny that the day i was born is the exact day i’m losing the most (more on that in a bit).
i spent the previous week retrospecting and restructuring, and i didn’t expect it’d extend into the new week.
so i have a few things i’d love to talk about.
i’ve been working on moving away from a life of checklists, and over the week, i wrote a manifesto on how i’d follow through with it.
the goal is to have as much flexibility as reasonable, and not feel obligated to do anything.
as a spoiler, i’ve decided to join ‘em: the bad guys.
i'm putting an end to mt5 screenshots on my chart, and the usual style of public journaling that i’ve been consistent with for over 2 years now.
sadly, no more transparency.
the week had less motion in regards to actual trades taken, and it wasn’t the market’s fault in any way.
i didn't take any trade, although i had some interesting setups i was watching.
i even tracked gold into asia session on thursday, and bailed out at the very last minute because i realized i was trying too hard to profit from the move, and as a result, prevented myself from taking an almost inevitable loss if i had continued.
i later saw that us500 and dxy all gave beautiful setups that not only played out, but were easy to capitalize on while i was deep down the rabbit hole with gold.
i only did a brief tape read on Friday, and went about getting stuff done, but in hindsight, i saw some interesting moves i wish i had caught.
within the week, i randomly logged into my ftmo dashboard with no goal in mind whatsoever.
but somehow, i decided to export my trades, and subsequently fed them to gemini ai with a sophisticated prompt i had generated with the help of claude.
the results were astonishing, and i’m glad the chain of events that led to the whole thing on that fateful day had occurred.
below is the result for all the trades i took from march through october.
