Summary:
Finished +$433 trading on 200 share lots on TNA and TZA:
The day's market action felt difficult to trade, and I managed to bring away a healthy profit. Cool beans.
TZA was only traded on the first trade of the day, which was stopped out. This brought the usual emotional upheaval ('What's wrong with you?' 'Try harder' 'Focus more', etc.; basically beating myself up). Crazy. I think this comes from a self imposed performance standard. In the past I have told myself that I can ignore the feelings/self-berating and keep trading. Today I decided to give myself some grace - 'I am still in training. I have a long time to learn this. I have to let myself learn, and this is all part of learning process.' I think this is a much healthier approach.
Again - going to skip charts for the time being; focusing on the internals.
