How does bad trading snowball like this? How do I turn it around? Definitely today started with me not trading clockwork bc I wanted $more$. That is the opposite of clockwork. Where is my sanity?
FAST OPTIONS TRADING. Fast in/out. Apply trading rules like CLOCKWORK. Have a day. Sleep at night. This is my personal trading journal*.

somehow I pulled out a flat day, despite trading like a total A$$
This results shot does not tell the whole story because I'm still holding 2 too-large positions (GS calls and ROST puts) that may just go to zero. As a result, I'm lucky to be flat on the day instead of really nicely up. If it wasn't for UAL for close to 200% gain (15% stock move), I'd be in really bad shape.
