Trader P/L 2010

No trades today. I missed the entry 5 minutes prior to this and I tried to chase it, but still didn't get filled so I just canceled the order.
I fell asleep today prior to market open and woke up on the last hour. We had a power outage (due to a typhoon) that lasted about 20 hours...
I entered swing trades last week on NFLX calls and AMZN calls and made about $1100 net. They were exited yesterday. I don't want to pollute the tread so I'm not posting the blotters for those.
Good trading.

Broke one of finger on my left hand yesterday at work. So, sorry for any typos.
This morning was pretty bad. Saw the downtrend, but couldn't find any good entries or just missed them.
Down $50 on 9 trades today. Leaving a bit early due to emotional stress and don't want it to cloud my judgment. Have things to do later today anyways.
Summary of trades today:
- Started trading at 5 AM.
- 1st two was right on direction but wrong on timing (stopped out). down -$50 at this pt.
- second trade ended up working, but exited too early at +$25 of what could've been $200.
- at this point I'm starting to get emotional. missed some good entries due to not paying attention to the screen.
- made a few more trades that's ended at around break-even.
- one of those trade had me at $150 profit but I kept holding on to it as it move back to my entry.
- last trade was a short at just 3 ticks from a high. but got nervous, exited and the move started as soon as I'm out.
Overall, I'm getting better at predicting moves, but my timing and tight stops are killing me.

Very good lunch money.
X calls - i played the wrong time period, but happy to get lunch money out of it.
AMZN puts - got away from me so i canceled the order (which turned out to be a good move)
AMZN calls - when the indices bounced up hard, i tried to get in, but my option quotes were not moving on my screen. stale quotes. logged out and logged in, but no difference. no trade.
X calls - option quotes were fine but too much time spent on trying to get in to the AMZN trade, and X got away from me.
