And when you are in the vortex crazy things come across. Trades that are the result of frustration.
Who and what has caused such frustration? Me!!!! When I had the crash I didn't want to admit myself that the day was compromised unless I would have re prepared all my charting again. I didn't want to.. I have been lazy.. I have been a bad employee, manger, boss, friend, father, I have been a bad human being or better a human being that believes to make a life with no sweat with no pre market preparation!!

In additio to this there is the fact of being affected by other traders around me in which I have great respect.
When I do mistakes with my own approach I don't regret being wrong but when you fail due to some other external causes it's soooo frustrating!!!!!!!! How the fuck can I think to trade without all the preparation I have done and I do in premarket? With no preparation what the fuck am I going to trade? Mysteries of life here!!!

I have even done a mistake in setting the profit taker and then I've also accidentally closed the entire position!
See what you do when trading out of NOTHING!!!!!
All rules broke and all the psychological stability goes away. Feelings of anxiety, fear, frustration!!! All results of trading out of your plans.
STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have broken the light switch in the kitchen cause I have punched it instead of switching it.

The work made last days fortunately is not totally compromised but I have now to take back rebuilding with extreme caution and patience my results!!! Extreme focus and rapidity in thinking and execution. No hesitation I have to be a machine or at least try to emulate what a machine would do when the setup up triggers.

And as a confirmation of freaking psychology, LRCX supposed to enter long as showed in the last trade, I shorted it.
The third choice for today was AMAT. Price levels are set and ready to go long but...
I was completely screwed!!!!
AMAT would have been a success.
For all my planned trades my entry price hasn't been retested prior reaching profit. All of them would have had a smooth and clear move to target points.

MKC was also in my list but due to the reversal move against the main trend, retracing enough to suppose a trend change and a gap fill, I didn't want to trade it.
