Need to trade less. And only triple digit runners unless the chart looks AMAZING for the smaller tickers. LESS IS MORE.
I think the analogy for trading that is becoming more apparent to me is like the career of an ice sculptor... you can only pick at something for a very limited time. The more you cut, drill or whatever they do, the goddamn thing just melts faster (and that's the last thing you want). You want to preserve the entity but still create something out of a block of ice. I've seen some beautiful ones.
Trade 1x per ticker
AM trades are the best for me.
I don't think PM trades will work especially when I go back to work in September. Need to focus on the 6:45 - 7:15 am window.
Had a green week July 8 but it was eye opening to see that I gave back 50% of my earnings with 5 bad trades. It's good to know I can't beat my odds by trading more/working harder in this capacity as a trader... it's totally working against my psychology (to not work more more more) but this is a very good thing to learn.
I also missed most of the 700% ticker this week because baby literally wanted to feed from 6:30 - 7:10 am... by the time I got to the computer it was baked. But really I have to remember what CH says, we hvae thousands of trading days ahead of us. I'm pretty convinced I'll be doing better once she sleeps evenly and straight thru till 8 am. *Cross my fingers*
