Gross PnL: -$626.
Net PnL: -$724.
Kinda weird day because I don't think I traded too bad, but the size of this loss is unacceptable. Took my stops as they were planned but didn't quite expect it to be this bad.
Additionally this is the third losing day in a row. Last 12 days prior were 9/12 profitable, so an obvious change in character of my trading. Anyway going to pull back size briefly, just for a couple of days.
So the root cause of this slight change is just trying too hard to capture moves, and not sticking to methodology. That is to say, when something is above vwap I should be shorting against the high, and covering into vwap. I have been holding for the downtrend too much! Just a slight change, but making a big difference.
