Thursday 2/27/20 ============ GROSS down about (10k) Broke my rules: entry time & too many times on share size Disgusting. Horrible discipline. Need better control. Wipes out my gains.
Made a few adjustments for today. I know that the "adjustments" that I have made have been helpful, but what I really need is to just follow my rules/position size. Wired more money into my trading account.
Friday 2/28/20 So, today started out just like yesterdays disaster, almost exactly like yesterday. I had a few winning trades, but then the others started to slide against me. But, I kept to the plan. Stayed in my lane. Although I was down about ($3,900) at one point it wasn't a panic situation. I was a little inpatient, and made a mistake or two, which I am able to identify. 18 Stocks Traded, Position Size: 2500 shares 102,800 total shares traded Out 1:30 pm Too many to list ============ GROSS +$1,772 Felt a little sick today, sore and weak...

Searching the internet, reading, etc., Re-read from 18 years ago Cramer's Street Addict book Maybe I have finally put the "Last Pieces of the Puzzle" together. Just wishful thinking?
