7:57: Just had cold shower. Feeling extremely good after it, quite like doing that, despite being 2 minutes of hell.
9:00: Had the morning meditate. Mind was a lot more active than yesterday. Still found it beneficial, but not as much as yesterday.
9:28: Got some good ideas, but in this kind of market don't want to fight on the short side or have too much patience. Will focus on not being stubborn.
11:03: Very hard morning, none of my ideas worked straight off the bat. Need to be careful now to switch into range bound trading mode and trade against levels and scale accordingly.
11:12: Gold has retraced it's entire Yellen move, while NUGT is only at the morning lows. Will try scale short full size with risk on vwap. Also need to make sure am ready for little squeeze pops type thing.
11:15: Well took NUGT full size on move below morning low. Massive chase, so will be out if it doesn't hold below 60. Need to respect the potential for a short term pop, but at the same time NUGT is completely broken and there is a risk to missing the trade.
11:21: Have made some blunders this morning. Needed to switch to "scaling against levels" mode earlier. Super super happy with my NUGT chase... But had a silly LULU long trade that was sort of a chase and relatively in the middle of the range - it's probably now a short off that level as it just peaked there.
11:30: It's time for a nap, but would just like to get to the point where I don't have to actively monitor the NUGT position.
11:37: Know when to chase. Incredible move on NUGT very lucky to have caught it. Imagine if I had been positioned correctly throughout the day to be short from 62.50 average... Will be worth revisiting the scenario that made it worth chasing so deep. Wide stop on remainder, because I feel like at this stage it should most definitely close at the lows. Time for nap.
11:43: Right before nap had second thoughts - which are the correct thoughts... If I want to hold 1/2 a position with a wide stop (and therefore a fair bit of unrealised pnl) I am not going to be super comfortable adding back higher (which I want to do). Therefore I need to get down from 1/2 to 1/4.
12:30: Spot on, on that NUGT positioning. Even now I'm still finding it hard to add - am back to 1/2 but not super happy adding more than that.
