Today Will said in class that he wants us to live better trading less. He's absolutely right about that and I wanted to share a little story about how much he is helping us to achieve it.
For different reasons, I was not able to use the PFA Zone Suite for 2 weeks. Last Sunday, as usual before the market opens in Asia, I opened NT and started to analyze the market. It took me literally an hour to set manually all the important levels and trend lines in in all my charts. And that was just the beginning, the market was still close and I was already exhausted.
The features I missed the most: all of them.
When you're using the software, you're kind of get used to having all this amazing features. But the day you don't is when you value them the most.
Watching a new level appear by it self is priceless. Automatic trend lines that are plotted the way you would manually do is priceless. Having the altitud grid there all the time reminding you where you are is priceless. Being able to trade directly from the chart knowing exactly where is going to be your stop, having the market structure there simplifying the noise, multi time frame zones, automatic continuation marks... Truly amazing. For example, without alarm lines I had to stay in front of the computer to see if price was arriving where I was expecting to.
To finish my story, I also want to say that having a break from trading was good for me. It recharged my batteries but also made me realize that I want to have less screen time.
I think at the begging I wanted to prove myself that this could be my full time job but now I'm realizing that it would be better if it is a little time job.
I hope I didn't bore you all.
Safe trades!
It was in a sim mode (I am testing it) BUT I see that combining PFA Suite with my approach (Market/Volume profile, orderflow... based) I can be more accurate.
