8:45: Found the cold shower a bit weak this morning - getting more used to it? Quite relaxed after meditation, but mind was quite active.
Focus for today is on focusing on the really solid setups. If profitable today (on day-trading) can increase size by 10% as I will have 5/5 profitable days in a row. Obviously shouldn't let that determine how I trade, but need to be mindful that I'm not getting over-confident or anything like that.
9:23: Got a tonne of ideas, but somewhat struggling to narrow them down a little - so looking for price action to confirm ideas. Don't want to get bogged down trying to trade everything.
9:44: Very happy with my decision/move/clear sight to sell SUNE in premarket on the strength. Good job not being stubborn.
10:03: Fought EW a bit on the way up, then got nice cover for half into support. Hindsight, shouldn't have added back seeing as it held support. But took the loss, and can't complain too much given the trade idea didn't work.
11:13: Bit of a rough morning, down roughly $240, but overall don't think I've done too much wrong, few minor mistakes but nothing major. Have been a little bit slow to ideas/thought process - could indicate not enough preparation perhaps if it continues to happen other days.
Need to be careful I don't revenge trade, or target trade to try and end the day positive. Let the ideas come to me, and trade them allowing for maximum flexibility.
11:18: Also remember that now in midday period want to be focused on trading around levels, not minor moves that look like they confirm trends.
11:21: Kinda weird, same thing happen with TSLA calls that I entered today as happened with NFLX, and this despite me being aware of the NFLX problem last time, and therefore adjusting. Will really need to bear this in mind next time.
11:37: Added short GBSN as a massive chase. Seems kinda weird adding down here (rather than covering) but taking the action as complete confirmation of thesis back to zero, so happy with the high risk add (especially given that borrows are still difficult). The more I think about it to more it makes sense to try and swing full size to 2s.
11:39: TSLA what a prick lol.. Just enough weakness to scale weak longs out. That being said, that's why I took some options as a swing. Maybe I should have been prepared for that type of action, given that it did similar on Friday, but not 100% sure.
11:49: Up $199 on day-trading just that. Some trades that I had on started working and had another 1 or two good ones. All executed well, without fomo - and without trying to make back losses. Really happy! Now key is to not get carried away, and to keep it!
11:54: Looking to close down some of the not quite as good positions, lock in the good day and take a break.
1:15: TSLA new highs on the day. Potentially could have revisited the idea if I hadn't taken a break. Just glad I got the options. Can't believe how low the options got throughout the day though!
