Gross PnL: +$191. Note accidental DRYS o/n long which is counted.
Net PnL: +$157.
I had planned to skip this trading day and Uber, but Uber was quiet so I decided to trade. This time I left plenty of time for preparation. Either full day trading, or not at all. Definitely felt like I was in right mindset which was good.
Really happy with how I traded overall. Was a huge amount of opportunity but did a good job of identifying the opportunity there was. A big miss was that I had left an order in to short TCCO into resistance, but was long going into the resistance so missed a nice flip. Easy extra $50-$100.
TGT - I was long full size, and JWN was melting down so I ditched my long for a loss. I'm pretty comfortable with this risk aversion (can always get back in, which I did) but I feel that if I wanted to ditch it, the correct decision would have been to ditch half of it.
The trade idea ended up working out, but because I was skitchish on it I think I probably underperformed.
VRX - Initial entry wasn't good enough. Apart from that a good trade, and ditching it because it gave me grief on a washout.
NUGT - Initial entry not good enough. Think I would have caught a nice move if entry was a few cents better. All this being said, I had planned to short NUGT on a push higher, so I didn't really get the prices I wanted anyway; never enough to sink teeth into.
DRYS - Didn't get full chart for some reason, but pretty standard only a starter position on the short but caught a nice move. Then when it popped I got full size. Really happy with execution, despite getting squeezed out in the end.
