Finally, I have created a playbook which lays out the set ups that I trade. I've learned how to cut my losses quick, and I've also learned the importance of a secondary profit target. While putting together this playbook of set ups I trade, and then practicing them, I realized I have strengths and weaknesses. For example, I'm not good at shorting right now, so I will not short anymore. LOL! I am, however, beginning to see consistency in two very specific set ups that I trade. I've increased my shares to 500 shares per trade, and I'm comfortable with that right now. With seven potential trading days left, my goal is to come out of the red.
