Gross PnL: +$2732.
Net PnL: +$2538. $103 in borrows.
The correct thing to do today was to scale back to normal size and try and lock in the previous day without putting on excess risk. So I essentially failed at that. Missed one stop completely, and eventually did the right thing on another - classic overconfidence example, don't know what I was doing shorting this early in the day in this environment.
In the past I have often given back 50% or more of a big profit day via overconfidence/whatever. Today I was probably at risk of giving back roughly 10-20%. So definitely an improvement in that area. Furthermore, I will not be withdrawing the recent pnl until the start of next week, because I have to prove to myself I can mentally reset, trade small and disciplined off that back of a decent win. I believe if I succeed that will be a big step to improvement.
Really nice final add on CPHI, terrible initial add (what the fuck was I thinking?!).
