Almost perfect time bought long NTMD and sold short MANH. Also tried to short VMSI at its high at 38.90 but did not get filled. This was the only thing I did right today. After that, almost all I did today was bad and no disciplined. I exited NTMD and MANH at totally wrong time. Then traded other stocks impatiently. This spoiled the performance. If I followed the simple exiting rule to exit at Market close, the performance of this month, actually all the year, will be much much better, double triple the actual results I did emotionally like today. I do not know how I can become emotionless. If I keep doing this, the performance will be far far below the simulated, daily back-tested performance. I know it will take a long time before I can complete my learning peiod of small trades and become really consistenly profitable as my super great simulated system tells me. Good luck everybody here.
