E-mini Trading Authority What Does It Mean to Accept a Trading System – Part 2

So you studied your system you practice it historically and you’ve paper traded it and demo traded it and so on. Then you moved to one contract training preferably on the e-mini micros and start there.

So from there prove yourself on the e-mini micros and get to the point where you can calmly enjoy the process of trading your system correctly.

You have to get to the truth of the matter of your ability to trade the system.

You need to keep a trading journal and keep track of everything to figure out your mistakes as fast as possible. Eventually you’re going to feel good about this system and you’ll be able to accept it.  

The more you successfully trade your system with successful results the more easily and naturally you’ll accept that system.  But you have to “accept” the system and accept trading ONLY that system, even if that system is going through a slow phase or if it misses a big run.  If you start changing your system in real time or mixing it with other systems or strategies in order to “make something happen”, you’ll probably lose.
