Worked showered needed to ate. Mkt another ath but low volume, tsla spiking crazy up, mRNA big volume blow off top 1st red day, took really low odds breakdown area at 52, if it broke it could go, built up -90 on 3-4 short entries pushed out, waited patiently, didn’t revenge it, mkt weakned a bit so did tsla just enough to give me my breakdown actual last trade was 51.98 to 51.50, so I got my .50, thank you Tim.

Worked, ate, should have showered. Read was strong mkt some chances to scalp small fast shorts at resistance on few stocks, had some chances didn’t get out fast enough then overtraded like 20 trades this is net loss, feels like relapse or principles and psychology, releases happen, learn and don’t repeat I knew what to do and not do just have to listen to self*

Traded SMCI mainly couple shorts first 20 min if day off work, saw quick scalp chances went up 80, down to 50, then up to 180, logged off went about my day, came back PM saw mRNA short bias around 46 but it had already dropped so far, lost 10, then 20 (30 total), then made 20 back losing 10, lost .02 total on it, knew I should have traded anymore, and kept the 180, net 165, never give back profits

Two trades in AM off work today low volume sort of 2nd red day in mkts, numbers only reflect net profit, traded a short on mRNA too, both breakdowns both one or two minute scalps only bc, missed huge short on FIG at 20 eating breakfast was the move hoped for yesterday, live n learn it dropped to 19.20 with 1300 or 1500 shares that’s a huge missed opportunity. Turned off computer to can’t afford to give back winnings, we’ll see later if I trade

3 trades, bought first two mistimed/executions first one just unlucky, second one too tight stop loss it broke up next minute after my out so correct just unlucky, 3rd trade prob revenge shorting into 50 it popped through hard forcing me out widening loss on day retirement money going poof gone

Small then out bc weakness was right bc woulda pushed me out fast some say set trade and forget it I day use instinct and feel when in solid mental state, when drained I can see the other rule being useful

Worked ate realized any money risked would be retirement money. Mkt big red day, traded mRNA, it pulled big, so I went short at 50 two or three stop outs last try went fifty cents but I got out after almost breakeven down 10. Thought best stop trading, instead took one more at LOD with only 5 min left and 49.50 held and pushed up and me out causing me to instead lose 70, lessons are expensive in this line of work.

Up 150 then gave it back plus another 150, won first trade on PL, the moved to mRNA and gave it back plus. Lesson! Win stop! Common thread bc all my big loss days lately have been days where I had a $200 profit to start or 150 and wanted to push more! No, stop!

Overtraded again today, Iran war last night got the hard panic, thought it was too bc to be prior day mkt bounced prior day odd. Ate after work, didn’t rush in, was pushed out and wrong too many times finally got one to get me breakeven and know I’m supposed to take that every time didn’t only got half losses back, more of a gamble then a planned trade.

Entry exit incorrect just showing net result $. Right read (PM bounce then short possibly), but hadn’t eaten since 8am working all day, rushed to mkt bc of Iran war, so mentally I wasn’t in a good place to execute; but, perfect read and bias, eat, and be in top mental state before trading.
