Reviewing my p/l spreadsheet, it is obvious what kills me is outsized down days.
REPEAT: It is obvious what kills me is outsized down days.
They weigh me down. Set me back. I'm really good at picks and trade management. Better than ever in my career. So on a day when it's not working, I need to stop with a ding and not a dent.
I can make a good living at this if I stop shooting myself in the foot. Two steps forward one step back will not get me there.
Walk away from small down days and live to trade tomorrow.
FAST OPTIONS TRADING. Fast in/out. Apply trading rules like CLOCKWORK. Have a day. Sleep at night. This is my personal trading journal*.
