Gross PnL: +$1525.
Net PnL: +$1267. $147 in borrows.
Coming into today I was dangerously close to the PDT as a result of yesterday. I had the right idea initially (taking high probability of success trades), but got a little carried away and ending up going big when I saw a nice setup.
This is the completely wrong mentality. I should have been going small to grind away from the key level.
Overall, I think it is worth sizing down a little for a day or two. Have had some half-ass mistakes recently; and although on the next iteration I fixed some of them some other danger signs are there. Capital preservation is most important, so just a little size down and slow down.
