I was all fired up to start off this journal with winning trades. Well, the market had other plans. I realize losses are part of the process, but I just wasn't ready for them today. Like an annoying relative, they came a knocking today. After 9 consecutive trades without a OTM, these 2 losses were bound to hit me. I just took a deep breath, watched Bloomberg for 30 seconds, and got back at it. I found an ITM to end my session before I headed off to work. It's not always easy to push your emotions aside. That is why it is vital to read a trading book, or watch a trading psychology video on youtube to keep your mind in the right state, at least 10 mins of positive input everyday.
Ok, now for the trades...
