If you act upon the words you use like "be aggressive" and jump the gun" are you not setting yourself up to push into trades you would not otherwise make and perhaps fail? Is it not a loss of self control? And if that is so, couldn't having a journal and a need to prove oneself only push one out of the comfort zone in a bad way?

It's not my intention to blow myself but this IRA account is small % of my NW.

Above is a blotter of my best single day of trading. I am not concerned with the performance of this IRA account. I'd like it to do well. I'm showing what can be done in vol in a retail account with IRA-peculiarities. You don't have to like my style.

I bought an asym-fly in GOOGL this morning via the synthetic with shares up 25. I had a bear signal in the shares and traded a five lot. Nothing else was performing; the synth-straddle in SPX, TSLA, etc..., but GOOGL hit it out of the park (relatively).
Up $2,770 from inception. Flat position.

There is nothing terribly exotic about diagonals. They need to be stressed (no heuristic) and you need a sticky model to deal with movement. I am not big into diagonals currently, but will get back into them when I get a broad mkt sell signal.
