Summary:
Suffice to say that today was perfectly awful trading wise. I don't feel like posting details or ruminating. The day pretty much followed the same track I have been taking lately.
What is absolutely crazy is the emotional attachment, even while paper trading. The thought that kept creeping into my head was that the entire market was working against me... AND I WAS PAPER TRADING. I wasn't even a participating. Is that paranoid enough for you? I wonder if I am ruining this entire experience for myself.
So, not a lot of trade talk going on; I need a break. I am not so sure that I need or can work any harder at this... my gut is saying that I shouldn't.
After the session was over I went out and got a massage and did some of the family Costco shopping. Tonight it is grilled salmon and a movie with the kids. Truth be told, I feel better already.
And, I/we get the big break here in a little under two weeks. We are taking the family down to Costa Rica for a couple of weeks. I had hoped to have this trading thing well on the way by then. In fact, that might be what is adding to all the performance pressure. I officially give it up today. Maybe I will sleep better tonight.
Trade well.
yes sir. i feel the same way. just burnt from trying so hard and not getting very far.
