    That's exactly what happened to me. Not enough sleep, thinking I can run all nite chasing the international markets, and playing superhero for the US day session.

  2. Typically, I try and stay away when I'm overzealous, excited for whatever reason. Kind of blurs my judgement. Go for a run, come back, then look at it again. Oh, who the hell am I kidding, I don't run. Watch some TV, come back, then look at it again.

    Good idea.

    I also take a short walk, or eat breakfast, use my healthrider, or dance to some lively music until an alert or time frame suggests I look to review my exit or reverse stop.
