sitting on the edge
I am one trade away from a max loss week. Will only trade a perfect setup today. Otherwise, save my ammo.
Hard not to notice that when I have losing days I don't journal as well/at all. I'm usually emotionally spent and not in the mood for introspection. But I'm also not growing by neglecting to analyze losses. Work on it. It's the key to success!!!

Despite the huge market volatility I'm just holding even lately. I know that extreme volatility is somehow harder for me. I think especially because I think I can trade more sloppy, jump in late, use tight stops. Trading smaller should help me smooth that out.
In general, I'm trading with the right sentiment, but getting the timing wrong. Also, bc setups are all ruined I'm trying to hit the indexes.
Maybe a day off would help.
