tilt day

Gave up my whole win streak. 

small for success

I have been trading like a superstar even in a choppy market. It's the smaller size! Will stick with this technique for a while. Each night, move half my profits out for good. 

Downside - I haven't been keeping up with annotating charts or other record keeping. This is lazy, and something I'm inclined to do when I'm in a losing streak. What could it mean that I'm ignoring journaling while winning? Partly, I feel like I don't want to brag. But otoh, I do want to keep my socials +/- up to date.

Maybe I haven't been compelled to update bc I'm not all that emotional about it (thrilled/devastated). Again... trading small / staying rational.

week in review - cooling jets (written Thursday 5/4)

 I traded a smaller account this week to slow myself down after some serious misbehavior in trading and undisciplined losses in previous week/s.

It worked. 4 green days. Each night I moved half my gains out. So I locked some, but still kept some. I like this technique. I want to build my reserve account back up using this method. When I get to the round number I want in the reserve account, I will concentrate on exclusively building the trading account. 

Even with moving out partial gains (vs trading with the full increased account), I'm up 66% this week. It would be great to trade like this all the time. How can I bottle this easy confidence?
