Hey guys/girls,
My trading the last week or so has been really shitty so I am going to take a break and reset for a couple days. Bottom line I'm making stupid mistakes that indicate stress and exhaustion ... three times in the last 2 weeks I have taken big losses on stocks because I meant to take profits and accidentally clicked the wrong button and doubled my position which flipped profits to losses (literally like clicking buy instead of sell by accident, lol). That kinda shit indicates I need to clear my head and stop trading for a few days. It happens when you get burned out staring at charts all day every day so I have a rule for when this happens and it is to just completely disconnect. Stop posting blogs, stop looking for ideas on watchlists, stop trading, don't even open my software, and take care of MYSELF. Just like people need vacations from their jobs cause they get burned out and their boss annoys them to death and they hate their coworkers, full time traders like me need to reset now and then and just get out of the weeds.
Anyway just letting everyone know I won't be posting a watchlist tonight or tomorrow, nor will I respond to emails, PMs, etc so that I can properly disconnect. I will be back to trading on Monday and will respond to emails/PMs on Sunday so feel free to message me and I will check em then!
Also expect a blog post on what I learned after I go back and analyze some trades and stuff ... will show y'all the ugly part of trading which is figuring out WTF you did wrong and why your strategy that has made you money for years suddenly stopped working! 90% of the time it's a mental thing and can be fixed w/ a few small tweaks...so this is what I'm gonna be doing til Monday :)
Talk to ya soooooooooooon!
Chris
EDIT: Just realized Monday is Memorial Day also sooooo I guess I'll be back on Tuesday! Even better! woooooooooooo time to go to vegas and blow all my monthly profits on hookers and blow!
