Worst trades of the month. Overtrade, stubborn hold. Forcing my trades. Not ideal entries. 5 trades. 1st and 5th trades was terrible. 1st: enter on a downtrend with no break of the trend. 2nd: Better entry @ higher low and break of trend: I was wrong. 3rd: chase off the bounce and sell for a loss @ the open. 4th: Bottom basing and I was wrong. 5th: B/o F/o, stubborn hold even when risk is hit. Worst trading this months.
Good: Cutting my losses when risk is hit and knowing when I'm wrong in single trades but overall trades still need work to be done.

Tough trading day. Did you have a traing plan before market open? I was short biased on WORX. I didn't execute too well so I broke even. The financials look crappy so I went short for all day fade. This was pretty much the only play for many on a short trading day and maybe that is why it got so choppy in the morning instead of fading straight down.
The original plan was to buy higher lows and sell into the pop with aim at testing the HOD. My 1st trade wasn't ideal because it did not confirm a higher low(break of the down trend). My second trade was an ideal entry so I'm happy with it since it's a good trade. My 3rd trade wasn't ideal too since it was a chase off the higher low. My 4th wasn't my set up. My 5th was a breakout of 2.50 with 2.39 as risk. 5th was the worst because I became stubborn with it. The entry wasn't a set up I would have like since it was B/O (FOMO). The dip to 2.31 was my ideal entry since I could risk off 2.20-2.24. it move to 2.61 which would've been a good trade.
