Trading Review: 12-11-2017


















Gross PnL: +$374.

Net PnL: +~300ish. $20 in borrows.

Bit of a weird day, and had a couple of thoughts come to me throughout the day.

(1) Confidence is everything. First three ideas: 1 loser, 2 winners. Only filled on the loser.
(2) Need to dial back the emotional intensity. I believe this was the reason for my poor performance on the YTEN short.
(3) Small scalps on the long side of YTEN (didn't get over 200-300 shares) added up nicely.
(4) Gave back over $200 on ONCE short. Need to fix this sort of thing. Is too much.

Quite happy with the day overall. Just drawdowns too much. Took two full size shorts on YTEN and was stopped on them for about -450. There was no reason to be full size, and therefore it should have only been 1 stop as a scaled into the position.
Similar goes for the final short. WTF was I thinking entering there?>

Some good stops taken today though so am quite happy about that.
