    I have a very strong "SHORTING" mental bias on super up days like today. My logic goes something like this: The up side is spent today and there are many shorts to be taken out on the down side. Please also keep in mind that I am an UNSUCCESSFUL ES daytrader. This bias has nothing to do with...

    My chart and my thoughts. I annotated my chart between 1055 till 1120 with the rational for entering and exiting trades. This is typical of my results where I have decent initial entries and then misread and overreact to things that I think I see on the charts.
