d8 > disorganized Friday, disorganized thoughts and a few disorganized trades made for -27. Started recording became organized slightly, +16. In summary, not trading the set ups can/will only make things worse, -11 for the day.
Started the day with "Opinion Trades" the account reflected my opinions nicely in red.
Recovered to break even thanks to the set up trades. Didn't take the last set up trade cause of my opinion again.
(my opinion was: "no, there is no way the price would go there")
Yes, the price did go up there!
And so the price train left the station without me. Another day tomorrow.
Idiot start trading style, lol!
I start my day idiot style, i play my opinion multi contract style, get my ass handed to me properly.
And then i play the game of catch up observing the set up trades only with one or two contracts.
Today I was attempting to utilize moving averages to help realize the set up trades bias better.
I ought to be moving more contracts on the set up trades.
I ought to be only trading the set ups!!
(something to ponder about)
Recorded playing a single catch up game on the account again.
Maybe i ought to record the whole session and thus create a diversion in my mind and only play the set up trades.
And therefore stop screwing about with implementing my opinions of what the market ought to do.
(another something to ponder about)
