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

92.23 loss on day traded mRNA once or twice and SMCI once or twice after work, eh, forced out first trade 45-, got breakeven and out, then lost it on next trade or two. Sad thing is my buy on one was good and enough of a move had it been executed on time to avoid all the other trading. More retirement money poof but improving biss and restraint, mainly unlucky on execution timing

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

Worked, didn’t nap or eat bc was already late, watched mkt to gauge bias, doing buy bias mentally daily now, then changing only if necessary, not forcing to trade with retirement money, saw weekly daily hourly then lower charts, decided to try a long on PL, first entry pushed me out surprisingly fast beyond risk 70 loss, stopped, let emotions pass, revenge trading passed, decided to try a buy again in a few minutes, didn’t like action so when it gave breakeven took it which was wise

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.

Bought a few times stopped out very tight risk, then right on last buy made it back, talking a few cents, scalping, eh. Decided mkt breaking down below key level try SMCI, but sae strenth candle knew should flip to buy but shorted anyway, pushed out a few times shorting building up these losses, mkt still weak down trending intraday here but SMCI holding and having up pushes so good reads, executions, just messed up going against my real time momentum read. There more retirement funds gone.

Bad sushi two days ago 31 to 19 overnight insiders selling AI to china, 22 held yesterday and all day today but uptrending wanting to break it today tried shorting into it for scalp against momentum and pushed out 7 times resulting in loss number, listen to self, supposed to have been no trading until saving money to replace funds lost in retirement acct from trading now have to save more.

Waited out AM session patiently, went in mid day to try and get a breakdown, tried too many times forced out any causing losses. Had breakeven should have taken it and stopped
