Somehow I’ve lost all interest / energy to trade; I would rather do my day job or projects around the house, than to even paper trade.
Or go to the batting cages, or research blogs for my fantasy football team, or run errands to get out of my office away from my computer…
Made four sim trades today on CTAS, CTV, GIS, and XLNX – I shorted and longed them 50%-50%, but all of them hit their stops, each failed or had weak breakouts.
I used a trailing stop on one of the positions, but want to just use simple stop orders in the future.
Lately, breakouts seem not to extend much outside the opening ranges, and it seems more bounces / reversals within the range are more prevalent and more the major move of the day.
I did use stops on all trades and made no ordering errors, which is progress.
