Summary
Lack of confidence is cause from poor preparation.  There are only 4 trading categories you need to prepare. If you’re lacking confidence your not prepping them correctly...
  1. Yourself: Physiology (fresh air and blood to the brain), Psychology (Probabilities) 
  2. Risk Management: 1% per trade max, RRR 2:1
  3. Fundamentals: Create a long term bias of your own, Prepare for upcoming data/news. 
  4. Technicals: Market Direction, Entry price, Stopp loss, Profit target.
Daily Goal: Write a strategy for trading data and price, Use your guide to take emotion out of your trading. Go with your creativity, if worried simply lower the risk. Trade every setup you see. If exhausted don’t trade. TTW Make a profit everyday.
