Setup was a bear flag, covered right before the big flush.. I am finding that I feel like I did when I started simulating. I feel very emotionally invested in each trade and I shouldn't be. It may just be a bit while I adjust to live trading but it's frustrating because even though my positions are TINY I still feel like trading my p/l or something..? I wanted to only take one good trade today, my setup was there but it didn't work. I couldn't just stop trading because it felt like I couldn't since I lost money on the my one trade. I took two more and basically just lost more money.. Feeling a bit discouraged but also trying to keep things in perspective. This is day 3 of a life long career.. I think I just need to ease up on myself a bit so I can reconnect with my trading self instead of my emotional self. An issue I'm having because of how I'm trading is my winners are smaller than my loosers.
