Got discouraged and skipped a day...
Well, I didn't do the cold calling that I set as my intention. So, the sales audio may not be sinking in completely. I took a night off from listening to it and only listened briefly yesterday. I was super discouraged. I'm getting back on track today. I'm hoping that over time the audios will help me with my motivation to make cold calls or write my blog. Right now, it takes a great deal of effort to motivate myself to do these things.
So, what are my results from a weeks worth of listening to positive affirmations on trading and sales? Absolutely zero. Yesterday and the day before, my trading sucked. I got into trades and put a stop loss at about 10 pips. Three out of four times, I got stopped out right before it hit my target. 😕 Luckily it was in my micro account and all I lost was $3. My biggest problem is not holding on long enough to my winning trades. My losing trades I tend to hold on to too long and wait for them to turn around. Ugh! I will improve!
Today, I started my trading out at 8:00 and put some demo trades on using the indicators that someone is demo-ing online. One of them is working out for me, although I looked at it on the day time frame. The other one...not so much. Yesterday's demo trade when 30 pips against me, but this morning started going in the right direction and almost hit my target. Now, it is a few pips in the negative. I'm just going to leave it on. I'm also going to leave on the other trade that is going against me. I know that I've been getting out of trades too soon using stop losses, so we'll see if my patience pays off, but it actually doesn't look promising based on the trend. I will get this soon!
I also updated my website. I wrote a blog post about my fitbit. I think I should put come more information or colorful stories in it about my fitbit. Here is the link to it. FitBit HR Charge Heart Rate Monitor - I love my fitbit!
