Overall relatively happy with the day. There were some mistakes though, big enough to not be called minor... But definitely not major mistakes.
One best practice that I need to get into is putting a hard stop in when I reach max size. Helps with getting solid execution/price, and with avoiding stubbornness and depleting psychological capital. Today this would have saved me roughly 40c on a 500 share position on PRGO. Remember that if I am worried about getting wicked out can give it a bit of space. Still would have saved me at least 20c.
In general biggest mistakes today were not getting good enough entries. Experienced a bit of drawdown - bigger than I should have on some positions because I didn't get good enough entries. This happened on UVXY short (in the afternoon), and PRGO in the morning (final add was actually an old order I forgot about).
Bit of an under capitalisation on the day given the massive market range. I could have crushed the UVXY move (by shorting pops to vwap) after the confirmation it gave, but I chose to be passive.
