Allow things to speed up on me and start to make mistakes
There are 3 trades I took in rather rapid succession today that all could be my anti-playbook trade but the common thing here was me and specifically how I allowed things to “speed up” for me during this time of the session. My emotions were heightened, I was moving quickly trying to process things and discover opportunity, I was trading my p/l for the day not working to find good trades, I was working to find trades.
Ill break it down here:
Third and most dangerous and frustrating play. Got up off the desk really pissed at this point.
AAPL- Looking for a continued strength play
I was frustrated with myself and on tilt at this point, things were happening fast and I was ripping through charts in an effort to find something to trade (not good). I looked at AAPL as it had pulled back to Vwap and popped. Thought this could run up to 120 today by the close and decided to get long without a set up I am comfortable in and without any rules laid out for me to follow. Just thought, get long, stop under swing low and look for a trend move higher to develop.
Stopped out there as well and at this point started to really have an inner monologue with a fixed mindset.
