A few too many stp-outs again today, but none of them were outside the Trade Plan. However, I did miss two trades within the Trade Plan that should have been taken. One, I simply missed a fill, and it reversed too quickly for me to chase. That happens. But the other, I balked on talking, without anything more than a predisposition as to the trend... and that's a clear violation of the Douglas Premise. Read the Self Recognition piece from the website for more information on that the Premise, and the Premise Corollaries that keep us from making the trades we should take, and suck us into those we shouldn't. On a positive note, it's always a good thing to return to trading after an unsuccessful day and at least show a profit, if only a miniscule one. Two losing days in a row in my Trade Plan and I have to start the third day on the simulator until back in sync with profitable calls. Will be trading tomorrow as the last day in this week, returning to the markets Wednesday next. Keep to your trade plan!
