    Holy fucking hell ... today I convinced myself we had to go down and just kept selling at the open. I lost 5 times by the time the tradeable downtrend happened, I didn't want to trade anymore and had broken my rules. I was short 1211 but scratched it. The other negative days, one long would have put me into the black.

    A reversal works almost every time a trade fails.

    OK today I'm pretty fucking pissed. A combination of platform lag and my shitty fucking phone wifi hot spot caused me to lose 2x my normal risk on my first long. Then I failed to reverse. Drawing lines, entering orders, price bars lagging enough skipping around at the open... WHY at the most fucking critical times does this happen!?! I swear to God the entire week this shit doesn't happen except the day I decide I should start trading 6 lots again.

    Now I just missed the 3rd long of course which is a plan violation that rockets 5 points in 10 minutes but that I was convinced I should not take and is now +10 from the bottom. It was never cheaper than ~2.5 points which I should have taken, but didn't want to lose another 1200... Technically I'm supposed to be done. Probably no more trades today.

    You really just got to let go of fucking horse shit you can't control. I called this day was going to happen on Wed.

    Out of curiosity, are you using a phone wifi hot spot as your main internet connection? If so, why?

  10. I have no choice... I work full time and trade on a personal laptop. I can only get shitty wireless.

    Anyway -3950 for today.
