It is Saturday night, I still have positions open from this week, and I am not spending the weekend re-deciding them. That used to be my mistake. Friday would close, and I would spend Saturday and Sunday reading every headline, second-guessing every level, and talking myself into a completely different plan by Monday morning — usually a worse one, made tired instead of made clear. Here is the routine I hold myself to now: One review, written down. What did I enter this week, what hit its target, what stopped out, and did I follow the plan I wrote before each trade? That goes on paper once, honestly, wins and losses both. If a position is still open, its target and its stop were already decided while the market was open and my head was clear. A Saturday headline does not get to move those lines. Then the charts close. My kids do not get the leftover version of me because I spent the weekend refreshing futures that have not even opened yet. Friday was a chip-led dip inside a week that still closed green, and the next real piece of information for that whole story is Nvidia earnings on Tuesday. Knowing that does not mean staring at it for three days. It means my plan for Tuesday is already noted, and the weekend in between belongs to my family. I am a veteran with a full-time job, and I taught myself trading at night, reading and studying when the house was quiet. I believe God gave me what I have learned for a reason, and part of that reason is showing the plain parts too — not just the wins, but the discipline that keeps a normal week from turning into a desperate one. A clear plan reviewed once will beat a worried plan rewritten ten times, every week I have ever tested it.
