Hacked around in AAPL and COIN for close to max day loss. I wish I didn't let it go that far, but that's what max day loss is there for.
Only win was second try at COIN.
Talking with my trading buddy about losing days:
On days when I'm up, I find it very easy to look at my picks and say, OK, what I thought would happen has played out or expired. So I'm done.
Why do I find it more difficult to see my picks aren't working, that I've lost money trying, and to draw the conclusion: These picks were a bust, they didn't behave as I hoped. So I'm done. Maybe I need another mantra of clockwork trading to remind myself to notice and walk away from a busted day.
Tomorrow, don't stray from success. Just stay the course of clockwork. That's why I made the mission control sign! To remember the keys to consistently profitable trading...
Small size
Tight stop is the right stop
Pay yourself first
