PnL: +15.93
I’ve really clamped down on my risk management strategies and it’s given my consistency a huge boost. I’m having less big days but more green days. I’m kind of winding down to take a break from trading and want to focus on some other things, rest up, reset. Work has been a real grind and I’m finding this kind of “learned helplessness” appearing in me and some waning engagement as things have been persistently difficult/broken/impossible and the random and uncontrolled negative stressors have started to burn me out, so I want to just give some focus into art and trying to figure out how to make work fun for myself. I can always take a break, land a trade and get a rush of dopamine, but it only encourages me to trade, not to make work a great place and I need something to feel connected to the world and like I’m doing something valuable.
Anyway, trading journal entry for today is pretty skinny as I didn’t trade much – just a poke on my lunch (NYSE close – 3pm-4pm ET.) I want to close only green days essentially, so I’ve really clamped down on over trading, recognizing when I’m chasing poor setups, etc. I feel like I could close close to 100% green days if I tried today.
