  7. As predicted. :cool:

    I generally much prefer to be long than short and it takes me some time to get warmed up to the short side. Definitely a sticking point that needs to be adressed.

    Based on this data, I've been trading the short side exclusively with confidence this morning. I had a beautiful short entry at 4109.75 on big size which unfortunately I trailed myself out of on that retrace going into the Open.

    Initially, I had a limit buy at 89.75, but I got greedy and lowered it to 85 and got stopped out on that retrace. Re-shorted prior to the Open and took profits a bit too soon.

    Performance have been too inconsistent lately and I'm in drawdown since equity highs, so going to take a breather here, I think. Been taking way too much time as well lately and I have some other stuff in my life which have been suffering as a result.

    In fact, I've been doing too well on a daily basis for my account size, so might have to start being grateful for $250 days again and don't get too greedy.
