Did considerably better in Jan than Feb. Made a number of mistakes in February trading, but not really much more than usual. A lot more dramatic divergences in these last few weeks than normal, but it's pointless to blame the market for one's P&L outcome. The market just is. It's our job to find and include Trade Entry Models that work in all markets, and to execute a plan regardless of our 'read' on market action. Today, for example, failed to hold onto the short at the HOD simply because I let the whippy action shake my patience. Stay patient. Sometimes it's more important to stick with the position when the trade model is right regardless of our apprehensions as to it impending success or failure. Let the market decide what it wants. Be the Trader. Stay discipline.
