Starting Another Blog with Special Focus on Trading Psychology

This isn't my first blog/site. My longest running blog was RewardtoRisk.com, which was dedicated solely to documenting my chart analysis and reasoning (no longer active). I say "was" because I lost the enjoyment of publishing chart analysis. Don't get me wrong, I've tried to keep a record of chart analysis several times. I've utilized various channels including TradingView, Twitter, YouTube, and my blog. I realized that it became a chore and I wasn't making progression with my own trading.

Instead, I created this (Trading-Mentality). Instead of dedicating this blog to one thing in particular (chart analysis), I'm dedicating this blog to everything. I plan on documenting my journey as a retail trader as I learn from my mistakes and reflect on my progression. I'm not limiting this to being a trading journal. In fact, I consider this a psychology journal, documenting the all encompassing factors in my development of becoming a trader. While I wouldn't say it's for my eyes only, I have no intention on promoting this blog.

My first few posts will be focused on digitalizing my physical trading journal, a book that I keep in my desk to document whatever enters my mind. This journey will be a weird, but interesting one. Hopefully, I will be able to look back at this one day and think to myself "what a transparently optimistic idiot'.
