  • 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:

  • Fifth of many trades in SCOK that day- absolute attention whore
  • Poor position management
  • Had gains, covered half or 1/3 and then did not put stop at entry price
  • Stocks turned around and ran against me in a massive way, eliminating gains and leading to losses
  • Reason - too many positions at the same time - loosing focus
