I feel Ok when I wake up, later in the day I feel bad since I think I have Sinusitis again, and may need antibiotics.
When I see trades I missed during the day, I am talking about trades based on my setup, not just random movements up or down. When I see that I could have made money based on my setup, it gives me more confidence that the setup works. Obviously, its not perfect, I do see spikes every once in awhile that would have hit my stops.
Quote from TheMan:
Once you get up in the morning how do you feel?
------- refreshed
------- still tired
Do you have OK energy in the morning and it fade as the day goes on?
Do you feel tired and just worn out in the afternoon even if you have had enough rest in the night before?

As my doctor explained to me, the 2 types of recognised insomnia are difficulty falling asleep and inability to sleep for at least a minimum required period.
Like you, I usually have no problem falling asleep. When I have insomnia I wake up after 2 or 3 hours, my mind starts racing and kiss sleep goodbye.
Used to be really stressed out, now I just accept it, start reading and when I get hungry go downstairs and have a snack. No point adding stress to insomnia.
Problem is after 3 or 4 days of 2 -3 hours sleep, I suddenly find I can't keep my eyes open during market hours. Need a 30 minute nap before I can function.
I've started recording to see if there is a pattern ( typical trader  ) so far appears random.
" I just accept it, start reading and when I get hungry go downstairs and have a snack. No point adding stress to insomnia."
interesting or disturbing reading will keep you up.
counting sheep is more useful. climbing up the fence is tiring for sheep, counting them as they climb may help you to sleep.

for the sinuses,when you feel that dry burn in the nostril coming on, eat an entire sweet potato, put an unbroken clove of garlic in that nostril before bed,leave it there 20 minutes,kill that bacteria trying to grow ,then toss it,hot shower in the face in the a.m.,steam out the nostrils, for that fear of setups, go back to sim and trade the hell out of every setup ,til you know intuitvely ....which ones have better odds, then come back live and trade those aggressively,the less likelier ones sparingly...for feeling bad,reprogram yourself to never feel bad and never use the word can't....don;t waste your time with antibiotics..that and 3 cents makes a nickel

Ok,
I got up today early enough after waking from a dream. I noticed a TA setup to the long side on CL futures that I estimated it would be possible to achieve a scalping profit from. As you probably guessed my other issue is over trading. So I said to myself, I will take this one trade today win or lose real money. I got in the trade long and after taking 2 ticks against me it finally moved 1 tick above my entry, so I walked away from the computer with my stop and target set. My target was achieved.
What's funny is I now see CL going down hard. If I did not leave my screen and had the balls to wait for the short setup, I could have caught part of that move. No I would not have been able to hold for the huge move down, but congrats to those that are able to stay in the trade by watching the screen since you guys made a ton of money on price going straight down with no retraces.

Looking at the chart, I thought something caused that huge sell off, and I was right.
"2:00 pm : Equities have extended their losses in a sell-off which saw the major averages and crude oil drop to session lows. The move coincided with European Central Bank's Luc Coene saying that outright bond purchases by the European Central Bank are very unlikely."
