I respond better to cues about what TO do, vs what NOT to do.
So I have reframed today's failures into remedies.
| Failure | Remedy |
| DONT TRADE FRIDAYS. | Take Fridays OFF |
I arrived late.
Trades starting at 1030 are by definition NMS | Only trade my setup.
My setups are on the open.
Only trade opens. |
| Don't trade today's expiration | Fridays are DAY OFF. |
| Positions too big | Trade reasonable size, to stay rational |
| Yanking stops | Stops are for safety |
| Swearing | Reduce size to reduce emotions |
| Hoping for luck to save me | Proper pivots, proper entries, proper stops |
| Forfeiting my day to the market | I like trading fast and having my day. |
| Money burning a hole in my pocket | Cash is safety |
| Not walking away after first small loser | After a loser, go SMALLER, not bigger. |
| Revenge trading | Trade only my setup, or walk away. |
Daily setup : Gaping down into/below mess Entry/play : waited a good few min for it to make a ndh then turn down. Small position bc trading...
