Had a ripper of a day on friday - but today I'm having trouble pulling the trigger - any good suggestions? thanks

Trading Diva - My two cents. I was having trouble with the pip target - I had it written at the top of my trade record sheet so that every time I did a trade - good or bad it was there. A good trade = elation and closer to the target a bad trade = beating myself up or frustration :crap: but in the spirit of making it work for myself... I've stopped writing the pip target (I know it in my heart) additionally I've stopped calculating the profit / loss from each trade whiole I'm trading - I leave that till the end of the night. That way all I'm focused on now is the entry, exit, and stop numbers and what time they occured, It's totally taken my mind off the or the and now it's just numbers - which is much easier and stops me getting in my own way with the emotions during a trading session. it may be something to try...
