Quote from nitro:

My timing on this was nearly perfectly atrocious. A few more minutes and I would have left the short bias on. Oh well.

I am a bit surprised by the market today actually. I am not making any money today even though the options clearly have a short bias. This is as a result of the long ES getting me delta neutral this morning. I am going to leave it on and see what happens the next couple of days. If my intuition is this far off, then something fundamental may have changed.

Still holding the delta neutral position. I am very surprised by the mini-selloff and my timing was horrible to go delta neutral. Sticking with the original idea that suggested I go delta neutral, but soon I won't be able to justify it anymore.

For the first time in a while, I am uncertain as to what is right here. I planned on selling out of the Long ES trade and go back to just holding the short bias BWB, but holding the L ES is probably not trading quantitatively here.

This mini selloff caught me by somewhat by surprise, and my confidence level has been affected. A trader lacking confidence is as bad as a fighter pilot lacking confidence.

I am angry enough with myself that a keyboard lost it's life today.

I royally f**** up, and all I did was make a position delta neutral instead of going with what the systems said.

F*******************

you told me before markets are not evil and not after you. They dont care, right ?! HAHAHAHA ! suggest to calm down and sit down and do analysis of these emotional bursts in your past. See what happened after. At least for me, there is significant consistency. Who said trading is not easy :cool:
