Gross PnL: $844.
Net PnL: +$722. $73 in borrows.
Pretty solid day really, and took stops where needed.
Got lucky with where I decided to stop trading on VXX, and unlucky on CBOE.
Was a little too biased on WYNN. Was up $700 (locked in), and thought it was worth fighting, despite obvious trend change/hold. Little annoyed I didn't reattack it into $180 (obvious spot).
Finally DRYS, took the good stop as planned; but had I withheld size and anticipated the games it would have been a profitable trade.
Something occurred to me, as I sat on the couch "relaxing" while feeling stressed out. I need to keep stringing together these +$100-$500 for a while. I am literally finding making money stressful - this obviously isn't helped by trading a 24/7 market.
If I can build some consistent days, my psychological capital will be higher AND I won't be stressed out (when I shouldn't be).
