P/R : 5.5$ / 1.5$ ( should have been 19.50$ / -6.50$)

Comments: This trade even if green is the reason why I am red today. I have in the end got a 1:1 P/R getting 1.5$ as risked. But if I would have used the same sizing and risk I have used for the other 2 trades I have done today I would end up with a + 3.20$. Not bad having 2 red and only 1 green. I can respect everything but if share size is different I see it really difficult to be profitable!!
So did I respected the rules?
Yes regarding attitude and psychology but failed at the sizing. Difference between the positions. This led me to a loss while the winning trade if sized as planned would have cover the loss giving a 1:5 Profit/Risk ratio. That's why we focus on let winners go and stop losers, but with a different size you get screwed.

I wanted to trade also $UNIT for break below 12$ at 12.50PM but I had hesitation and I have been punished cause the stock get just to target 11sh.

Same thing with $WMT, I wanted to short below 103.50 at 13:41PM but once again hesitation. Punished 2nd time cause the stock just got to target 102.35
As long as I keep doing this I will never be profitable. There s no way to make it I don't apply every fucking trade the same size!!
I can anticipate entries, exit resulting in a scratch trade and ruining the trade but I can't change fucking size!!! This is a must otherwise the shop will close!!
Second must is NO HESITATION, ANYMORE!! I have to stick to my knowledge, instinct and capacities and keep building a winning system.
This will let me avoid late entries such this on $WTW!!
