As my grandmother used to say- so this week some fainthearted non- trading, as I failed to see the 2 or more combo trades this week, and yesterday didn't get a fill selling 4650 jun calls. I was out at civic duties from 11.a.m and am not entirely comfortable trading when away from the screen, although only once have I changed my mind intra day. However my levels would have been hit, as I also put in a cheeky order to close out some of my short 3900 puts. I re-placed the order when I had the opportunity on Fri afternoon but the high was in and the F was fading ( I was looking at R2 - around 4460 as the high).
Point is- I realized this week how sensitive I am to outside interference, and I am more fickle about taking trades than ever I was as a pro musician. I have had more tantrums as a non- musician but the one I did have cost us a major record deal.
OK I don't have tantrums with trading, but I kind of 'sulk' when I miss trades, get annoyed when I am losing, and feel a little 'lighter' with winning trades- but frankly it's not about winning it's about probable profits, so it's no big 'hurrah ring the bell' kind of thing for me. I reward myself with time away from the screen.
Not sure what I do about being so fickle- living with a woman tends to give one empathic moodswings, and while I love every day of my life with my chosen one, there are times..............
