I did really well in the morning with 2 solid trades, +250. I was stupid and decided to take a 3rd trade and gave back all of it, and I averaged down on my spy puts too, which pushed me in the hole super fast. I decided to take a few mins to clear my mind and got back to +165. I knew immediately it was time to shut down. Not making that mistake again trying to short the market when it’s surging.
Yup Ed , just like you teach us always , our biggest enemy in this business is “Us” not the market.We got to the fight the feel of defeated when we have a bad day and fight the feeling of “invincible” when we have a good day, we must have that balance always stay in the middle .2019 is yours , 2019 is ours .All the best Boss.
