I was feeling off today and knew it was not the ideal day for me. Went to bed late and woke up really early. I was feeling under-slept. I knew my decision making would’t be perfect, so it’s a day to enter with smaller sizing as I know my pschychology.
At open I saw a trend break and went long in the first minutes seeing the market wake up. There was alpha here – VOLD ratio was strong relative to the price movement so I picked up on the long bias for the day and made an entry long to hold.
Likely because I was overtired, I didn’t execute the position well – I set the stop loss too tight and didn’t let the trade form so I got knocked out of the move. I just wasn’t put together today. You have to know yourself and the days to stay light and when to stay away.
Need to take a break and get some good sleeps in before I’ll be able to clock any more gains. Did a lot of work getting everything together for model building, the blog etc. Video content next. but gotta keep the balance.
