4 trades last week of which 3 of them were shorts as I wanted to try different strategies, no profits and only small losses as I'm trading with small sizes so my tuition costs are increasing but not so much :)
I could have maybe avoided 2 of them but I wanted to do some practice and to see what kind of emotions I would have felt while trading shorts and so far I like it more than long as I felt more relaxed and calm.
I'm a little bit disappointed about the loss I got when I dip bought $GOPH as if it wasn't for the Level II default I would have got a profit as my entry, for the first time, was almost perfect, but shit happens and you have to deal with it, the real lesson here is that I have to stay calm and avoid panic to control my emotions.
Friday I started sending my watchlist to Croock for his oversight and it turned out that I was quite bad about choosing the right strategies to adopt so I think that I really need to study more if I want to be profitable, but I'm glad I decided to start that as it will definitely help me to become a better trader. Using Croock's watchlist template forces you to go deeply in the tickers you are thinking to trade and often you find out that are not good enough to be traded.
As suggested by the psychological trading book I'm reading I started to track the trades in which my mindset took me out of proper execution and I think that's worth the time you spend of doing it.
You know why I like so much trading? Because you never stop learning!
Another week is coming so let's get ready! KISS & CVC! :)
