5/10 psych score at 10:30. Notes: It's only 10:30!? Got squeezed on NFLX after not taking a stop so not in greatest mindset.
Hindsight, this should have been about a 2-3 because I had got squeezed on NFLX, AND added above max size.
So to sum up today: Didn't take a stop on NFLX, took a big drawdown. Eventually took it off way too late. Got myself in the mindset to attempt to have a positive day. I was down about $1200 net, and there were some trades that I could have nailed (not exceeding max size) and it would have bought me back to approximately breakeven ish.
Instead I focused on BANC - went way over max size (at peak 6x max size).
Sooo yeah; simply not good enough.
Other big disappointment for the day was that I didn't get rid of NFLX when it gave me a chance. Although I narrowly missed covers on most of it by 5c - I took that approach that I sometimes fall into of: "oh it's confirming my idea" - instead of being in "recovery mode".
As a side note: I was somewhat trying to get size on the NFLX short a little too hard as well.
Overall could have been a pretty big day if I had taken the stop and reshorted where I added. Was some good opportunity around, and did a good job with the grinder setups.
