Painful down day. Didn't trade clockwork. Didn't stop at max loss. Took home an oversized (green) position.
My week is over except for seeing how these AAPL calls play out.
I was on such a roll, account at all time highs. Overconfidence = pain.
Review the principles of clockwork trading:
SMALL position size
Tight stop is the right stop
Pay myself first.
FAST OPTIONS TRADING. Fast in/out. Apply trading rules like CLOCKWORK. Have a day. Sleep at night. This is my personal trading journal*.
