yesterday losses
Yesterday was a frustrating narrow range day on the market. No followthrough on anything. I took an opening loss on UPST puts and packed it in. I think this is a good strategy for me. If the first trade is a loss, maybe just call it quits instead of hacking? Yesterday that was the "win"... to not hack on a no-ft day.

spreads and fomo
NKE short was the trade of the day. One minute failure pattern I see over and over again. The spreads were wide, so I had to take targets. It also made me trade too scared, but by "not wanting to give back", I tightened the stop too much / somewhat illogically and missed more.
Lesson would be to take the ask when I can, and not wait to go out on the bid/stop. I still would have left a LOT on the table, but would have captured somewhat more. BUT, still need to have that protective stop (in the right place).

All wrong today
Max loss day today.
What went wrong?
One real problem is BIDU went against me so fast I didn't finish to get my stop in. And then I thought I was going to wait for a new pivot. Too cute, should have done it with a market order.
My read was wrong in general.
