  • Worst day (Oct. 20th, 2014) in 7 weeks
  • Massive overtrading
  • Did not cut losses quickly
  • Forgot or did not apply most rules
  • Did not look for set-ups - gambling
  • Slap in face after great Friday last week (Oct. 17)
  • Had up to 6 positions at the same time!!!! Insane.
  • Will have to start from scratch and go slow
  • Rule for this week (Oct. 21st.) max. 8 trades per day, overtrading is something I dont need

Comments:

  • Was up 120 on this trade or 2R
  • Got greedy and did not manage position well, due to too many other positions I was watching
  • Should have put stop at entry price
  • Instead I let the stock run against me from 10.90s to 11.50
  • Major breakout toward end of day
  • Poor trade, did not manage position
