Weekly Gain $256.90


Too many trades this week to fit on a screen shot, so no visual record.
-
The week was mostly dominated by my sloppy undisciplined trading on Monday and Tuesday, scrambling to be profitable because I chose to fade moves too soon and then didn't stop them out.
Took a loss on Tuesday and barely squeezed out a gain on Monday; a day in which I should have cleaned up.
-
Also playing into this week's trading was a commitment to consistently trade small share amounts until Friday where my final trade of the day was a 1000 share short near the day's price peak and scaling out in 250 share increments as the trend moved down.
Successful/experienced traders recognize when they have asymmetric risk advantage and increase initial size for those trades as well as adding to trades that are working.   I have a great deal to learn in this department.
