vestigial psych problems

 It's been a while since I had a clusterF of a trade like GM where I was in too big for the spread involved and I was afraid to take the stop. Hopefully this will keep me properly smacked in the face for a while. The stop level was clear. Better to take a "bad" loss than this utter waste of money. If it goes back in my direction, I can always re-enter. Or move on to something that's acting better.

Similar problem in LVS, but I was somewhat better sized for the drawdown. Poor R:R on that one, if I were to complain. 

Other than that, quite a very good day with a basic gainer on ON and a nice day-maker on TSLA.

Post holidays

 I'm back. It's been 2 weeks of wonderful hectic with Pesach and the kids around. Today, back to business. 

It was a slim green day today. Was initially up but didn't walk away. Went red, then struggled back to green. I want to get back in the habit of hit and run. If I'm done at 9:45. Great! It's beautiful outside and there are a million other things I'd love to be doing instead of sweating the market all day.

Today I identified an inside market day = don't chase, don't expect followthrough. Add to that, should be a hit/run/and run away! kind of day.

Focus: be done before 10:15.
