When I trade, I am always fighting the urge to do too much. I'm too clever, too quick, yet not in control...never in control. Like when I skied into a tree last week.
I can't tell the market what to do. The market doesn't care about me.
My job, if I'm to be a profitable trader, is to look for good risk/reward spots and good positions, and then let 'em go as per system requirements.
Maybe what is setting this off is my QID position which I initiated end of day yesterday, then got liquidated on a gap-up open....again. Now I know that the button pushers are going to do that, and the 30-min. system I'm using is in "no-man's land" at the moment, but I just knew better...grrr.
And on the basis of a 30-min MACD cross (bearish) I just got into a half size QID position on the basis of risk/reward. I'm usually right, but early.
But dammit Jon, just wait for your pitch...don't force.
Oddly enough, I did much better when I was in the hospital for a week obvlivious to the whole damn thing.
