First day back to trading after last weeks 'trading vacation,' where I took 1 week off of work to stay home and trade all day. Today was back to the grind.

Definitely could feel the rushed/work related emotions today, of needing something to play out for me quickly before it was time to leave for work, which has caused me problems in the past.

Short 1: Feeler...exited early for small loss.
P&L: barely in the red

Short 2: More than my feeler size, but not quite up to my half size (reason I felt half size was too much here, we were still dropping straight down so, hard to find an entry, but we had room below still)....this one didn't work so this loss hurt a little more than the first play.
P&L: more in the red now, but not panicking

Short 3: Bumped it up to half size now... the chart finally pulled back and gave me some clues so I felt comfortable going half size here for a nice win.
P&L: after the first 2 losses, this win put me barely in the green now

Short 4: Feeler size (about a scratch...20 cent loss) feeler size bc I felt we were over extended and it was iffy we would keep falling, but all signs were saying go so I gave it a shot on nibble/smaller size.
P&L: still green, but its getting tight now

Last play: Long: Long, full size from 2 adds, half size then one more add of half size, to get me to full size for the long scalp. (high conviction play for me, hence why I took full size here.) This was my setup so I had to pull the trigger. Gave me a dollar, target was $3.00 away, but I got out early bc I was late for work, and tbh was looking at my P$L (smh) and the clock, I just wanted to go to work on time and with decent profit.
P&L: nice padding from this last one to end day in green

Could have done much better overall without the opening plays foolishness.

Will evaluate this trade further this afternoon.

Now that I'm back to work I have to keep my emotions in check to not rush, while also keeping an eye on the clock, but not let the clock cause me to feel hurried.

Have to master 'patience under time constraints.'
