Thursday 2/27/20


============
GROSS down about (10k)

Broke my rules:

entry time & too many times on share size

Disgusting.

Horrible discipline.

Need better control. Wipes out my gains.
 
Made a few adjustments for today.

I know that the "adjustments" that I have made have been helpful, but what I really need is to just follow my rules/position size.

Wired more money into my trading account.
 
Friday 2/28/20


So, today started out just like yesterdays disaster, almost exactly like yesterday.
I had a few winning trades, but then the others started to slide against me.
But, I kept to the plan. Stayed in my lane.
Although I was down about ($3,900) at one point it wasn't a panic situation.

I was a little inpatient, and made a mistake or two, which I am able to identify.

Felt a little sick today, sore and weak...
Not to mention my head was still spinning from yesterday.

Feeling very confident about my trading over the past 10 Days:
Net +$2,018, +$629, ($679), ($334), +$1,705, +$436, +$957, +$1,071, ($528), +$1,967

Winning Trades/Days have been Higher than Losing Day/Trades

Very Patient, waiting for trades to develop. Searching the internet, reading, etc., Re-read from 18 years ago Cramer's Street Addict book

Maybe I have finally put the "Last Pieces of the Puzzle" together. Just wishful thinking? I have been there too many times before. I think there might be some staying power here...finally. With today's profit, I may very well secure my first profitable month in a forever.

Notable Trades:

Bought OKE at 34.13 sold at 37.38
Short ETRN at 9.36 covered at 8.25
Short RYTH at 24.86 covered at 23.90

Currently still holding overnight DQ short from 70.61

WEEKENDS ARE FOR MOJITO'S !!!
