Busy, busy, busy

Work has been busy for me the past few months. I have still been trading and evolving in between work. I am always surprised with the amount of correct info that i learn of as i continue my journey. I thought i "had it" then i would get smacked around a bit and realize i was still missing something. I have revisited some books that i read a while back to refresh myself of the things that i thought i knew. I have been tweaking my approach to the markets as i learn that what i was doing didnt work. i still use the same methodology but just use it in a different way.
 My morning trade plan has become more concise and actionable as opposed to just stating the obvious. I feel as if im getting a better read on the market day after day. Its really tough to self coach because you have to be on your toes and realize when you have done something wrong either with your mindset or strategy. And you have to be willing to make the necessary adjustments in order to continue your development. I have certainly realized the trap of thinking that by starring at the charts all day is constructive learning when i fact all i was doing was just that ,starring at the charts and waiting. So i continue to march forward...
