Public Trading Desk

My Trading Desk

I write intraday trading rules, keep journals, and build simple tools to trade with less emotion.

This is my trading desk: real trade notes, risk reviews, mistakes, automation experiments, and lessons from live trading. No signals. No profit promises. No services.

Problem

Manual trading gets messy under pressure

When the market moves fast, entries, exits, risk, and review can become emotional unless the rules are written down first.

01

Execution pressure

Entries, exits, and modifications become fragile when the market is moving quickly.

02

Risk drift

Position size, stop placement, and drawdown limits change under emotion.

03

Manual mistakes

Duplicate orders, stale stops, and leftover positions create avoidable risk.

04

No review habit

Trades become memories instead of notes I can actually learn from.

How I Work

Rules before trades

My desk is built around simple written rules, risk limits, journal review, and careful automation where it actually helps.

Rules

Defined before execution

Entry, stop, target, breakeven, and session rules are documented before automation touches an order.

Automation

Execution with guardrails

Simple tools can handle repeatable workflow steps while keeping manual control and safety checks in place.

Analytics

Review becomes evidence

Journal, risk, drawdown, and execution data turn each session into structured review material.

Desk Workflow

Rules, execution, protection, review

This is the practical flow I try to keep around my own trading: write the rule, take the trade, protect risk, then review honestly.

Desk Notes

What I record around the desk

01

Daily Journal

Real session notes, what happened, and what I need to remember next time.

02

Rule Reviews

Written rules checked against the trading day instead of memory.

03

Risk Notes

Loss limits, size decisions, breakeven days, and drawdown reminders.

04

Mistake Logs

The uncomfortable parts kept visible so the same mistake is harder to repeat.

05

Automation Notes

Small observations from building tools around my own trading process.

06

Session Lessons

Simple notes from each day: what held, what failed, and what stays in the plan.

Free Resources
