got chopped on the inside day

The FIRST rule of inside days: don't expect followthrough. 

How many years have I been trading?

This morning on the open there was a wild market glitch. Lots of strange halts and weird action. Fortunately I didn't get caught in that. 

Then I took 1 "normal" loss and 1 C-game loss (0dte) and I'm calling it quits. Coulda' shoulda on the last one, which...  wtf, self!?!  0dte is poison. Also poison: not taking the pltgt bc I want so much more. 

Repeat: the pltgt is my bread and butter. I need to take that target every single time. Either I take the target with a limit order, or run a trailing stop behind it for more. But there should never be a time when I hit +20% and don't take it off for at least +15%. +20 should never go red.

And helloooooo....! I only turn to 0dte in the first place when I'm desperate 🚩. 

If I'm even looking at 0dte, I should shut down.

2023 Tiny green day bc toxic 0dte win

Market opened above st levels. Bumped a bit, then bled out.

I got a nice long in SQ by waiting, taking 15% pltgt (which hit where 20% didn't) and tight stop for opening green trade on the year. 

Then it went red like the market. 

WYNN. Valid daily setup. Bought volume bounce back off rinse/retest of opening low. It dumped immediately.

GOOGL gap above st downtrend. Vwap bounce failed.

TSLA bottomfish off support area and mini consolidation. Failed. 

SPY 0dte = toxic trade. Made it back, but could have gone either way. (not shown)
