Hi all just realized I forgot to put my summary of my trades in my journal today. OOPS... Well maybe the entries on chart will make up for it. Okay a bit tough to see. All trades were long. Hmmm fighting the market overall trend today are we? Two three tick gainers and one two point loser.
Joined @BoltTrader having internet troubles this morning. One minute I had it the next I did not. Talking with the COX computer was a pain in the tail end. While I was waiting for the switch to a real person after not having connectivity fixed my problem magically went away. I think it was on COX side not mine. Oh well.
The thing that I did that I was happy about:
1. Did not rush into trading after handling all this garbage.
2. Made sure to finish my entire pretrade check sheet for the day prior to trading even though I was seeing trades immediately after getting connectivity.
3. I took my time with the troubleshooting and did not rush into disconnecting wires as COX suggested. (One thing about trading you learn to suspect everything.)
Well that is how I started my day. I have the itch to get out of here as could have done so much better if my head was screwed on tight today. I realized as I went through the day that the COX issue had taken me off my game.
NOPE I TOOK ME OFF MY GAME, as I am responsible for trading not COX.
Yep... Just did not have my head in the game and it showed everywhere. Guess I need to have my head low before and after birthday. Have the after birthday covered, but not before. Taking the day off today would have been a good thing to do.
Not even going to go in the SHOULDDA Camp.
Key rule violations: Added to loser/ traded more than one contract/ moved stop away from price after initially setting stop. There were others too, but those were the biggies.
