I had high hopes coming into Friday after a great day on Thursday. I thought I could get back close to even for the week. Unfortunately, I was too anxious to trade and did not have the patience needed to pull out a win. I was down out of the gate on several small trades. I was also distracted with work. I was down over $35K in the AM before working it down to about a $13K loss. I knew I should have stopped right there given how the market was moving. Of course, I wanted to get to even and ended up losing $23K for the day. I know I need to be more patient and wait for the A+ setups. I know trading should be boring and is mostly about sitting on hands waiting. My patience and discipline this week would be graded an "F" outside of Thursday. Still a work in progress. I am going to try and limit my total trades to no more than 3 per day. I need to be a sniper on setups instead of a maching gun! Dug myslef a whole this week, but I have not lost confidence.
