I really perform differently depending on whether my first few trades are profitable or not; today it was $FXCM o/n short that started me off -$350 and ruined my mojo; Broke two rules there, it opened green which meant get out; I was down more than $100 which meant get out;
$GENE traded it awfully at the open, then bought the dips well, but didnt stick around long enough
I then re-focused and decided to put the bad $FXCM trade behind me and made a good comeback,
Again today focused on too many trades, for instance, just scalping $GENE long and $NES short would have been enough, and less stressful ...
Tomorrow back to being more disciplined
Trades:
$NES longed some in pre and cut it even
$GENE was a bit early with first short but it was tiny, added on the way up and made a few cents
$GENE shorted again, this time let it grind against me and eventually had to flip positions to get some losses back; nice hod sells at least ... later tried a bounce off vwap; didnt expect it to push that far; then again bought some on a dip and sold quickly; overall down on GENE due to letting myself get squeezed in the early am
$GURE short; expected a bit more than that, but good trade nevertheless
$FXCM was short o/n and didnt cut it when i should have and suffered big $350 loss; so much for stopping out at -$100
$FXCM got back in on that spike, and traded it in and out a few times to claw back some losses
$NES re-shorted and got spooked out half by big vol spike - traded it well this time, with adding pops covering flushes
$NES some more
$GNVC was short o/n took +20c too iliquid
$ADXS sold the remaining $7.5 puts i had - good timing too, right as it flushed to 8.20s; it then bounced back to 9 and subsequently dropped sub 8, should have paid attention
$DGLY longed some one news, worked ok
$WPRT this setup rarely works for me; got out before the splat
$ALQA boredom trade
