I tilt/trade recklessly when I miss every move

  1. Yeah, but micro stakes, like only 0.01/0.02 blinds. So not that big of P&L swings, and it's fairly easy to play with a positive expectation over time.

    You needed more trades setups to trade. There were plenty of setups out there but yours did not fit so you....

    Develop more ideas for trading. Spend time developing new trade setups. Especially Short. There will be a lot of day-trade days (sessions) that are short biased ahead, imo.

    Yes that is true. I do go short. It's just recently it has been mostly stocks to the long side so I was more keen on going long
    I don't trade reversals though.

    Mind telling me which setups/stocks were good today to you? AMD/ROKU/TSLA/MRNA were good shorts today

    No worries soon enough you will be broke and move on to do something else with your life.
