Rough trading day. Lost a good bit trading stuff I shouldn’t have. Frustrated I can’t seem to just follow my own rules of good sense. Gonna give myself a little longer, but if I can’t discipline myself, then… I guess we’ll see me retire from the trading experiment.
I guess if there’s any consolation, today was a day even pros lost a good bit of money on the same stock I got hit hard on. Guess we all have our bad days, eh?
Slow car day (had three people cancel or postpone. Haven’t had that happen in a while.) So I only did four cars today and barely made enough money today to cover what I lost this morning, but… that’s okay.
There were some good aspects to the bad trading. I did see some growth in my self discipline. Yes, I melted down in the end, but I was more disciplined in areas I’ve been weaker on in the past. So there was some progress. The situation that killed me today was a new one, so… a new learning opportunity.
Gotta rein in the frustration/anger when it doesn’t go my way.
Time for bed.
Good night, all.
