Potentially Great Day....but emotions ruined it

I know what my problem is, yet for some reason i chose to live in insanity.  Had 3 GREAT price reads but terrible exits and i got shakey.


BBY - I need to let trades workout and ignore my emotions.  Great short that i blew

BIDU - Runner Chase, great entry, terrible exit





CMG - Great short but bailed early.  Need to let trades work

GOOG - Lesson of the day to buy mini flags to previous breakout

NFLX - Short as rolling over

AAPL - Missed the bounce long off Rising 8ma

Ended day red due to lack of discipline

1 real trade (misstraded) and 1 paper trade (afraid to chase real)

CMI - Great reasons to get long but allowed to get stopped out





FSLR - Strong stock in a gapdown market




SEE - Great lesson on shorting the bounce on gap downs

Great paper day, still dissconnect with live and paper

Was able to stay emotionless, calm, cool, and collect.  Even though i paper chased i still had GREAT gains.  Need to learn to pull trigger as i really felt like i was in sync with the market today and yesterday!  The trades:

AAPL - Strong out the gates but didn't pull trigger

BIDU - Missed the long base and short at R

AMRS - Huge chase

TIVO - Great daily look but shaked out

SINA - How to use a stop

Potentially great day but due to lack of discipline exits i ended barely green

 One of these days i'll figure this out

BIDU - Short nailed but terrible exit

AAPL - Short but too early
