Day Trading Journal

Hello, fellow traders and seekers of truth. I'm Helixtrader36 ( @helixtrader36 ), a full-time day trader with a background in microbiology and molecular biology.  If you've been following my blog or X posts, you know my journey isn't just about setups, EMAs, or VWAP—it's about the inner work that makes or breaks consistent profitability. Today, I'm diving into a tool that's been pivotal in my own transformation:  Journaling. Not just any journaling.

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. - Romans 12:2 (NIV) Everyone is born into this world completely helpless. We cannot live on our own in those early stages. Dependence on others to care for us is essential.  In a sense, before we are even aware of ourselves, our bodies are being conformed to this world. Then eventually our minds become conformed to the beliefs and patterns of those who are influencing us—parents, family, teachers, culture, environment.  We soak it all in without question. That’s how identity begins to form, long before we have any say in it. At some unknown point in time, we begin to form our own beliefs and patterns to discern and guide our behavior in this world.  For me, gaining knowledge seemed ingrained early and then strengthened.  It felt ...
