Hey guys. So after a lot of thought I have finally made the decision to turn down a recent job offer to go full-time in the markets. I started in the markets in January swing trading and was able to do this with a full time job, but have tried my hand at daytrading emini contracts this last summer. I've found that daytrading is more my style and feel, so I finally opened an account with Apex Futures with a small amount of capital that has been set aside and waiting for me to take the plunge for a long time now. I have some other things on the side that will carry me through the process financially with some breathing room so it couldn't be a better time to just go for it.

Anyways, I never used a journal or written trading plan in the past and recently made them for my start in a new direction. I will post them for suggestions on changes. Thanks in advance for any help from you guys.
