The worst trading day of my young career

It pains me to write this but I can't just write about only the good days.

To sum it up I overtraded and I chased!!! Literally every trade I took I got chopped out of. It started with $VVTV and $INAP, then there was $JRN,$MNOV,$DARA, $CHTP, $DCTH. I had a very small profit in $NQ on a quick trade that I gave back when I attempted to trade it again later in the day. I did take a few pennies in $DARA selling half my position and holding half overnight. Yesterday I did not feel like I was on point and today I clearly was off my game. I wanted so badly to make up my losses that I was taking trades that I hoped would make the day a winner. Then after getting my face slapped repeatedly I had a chance too jump into $AFFY @ 3.40 and I passed out of fear. Guess what happened next? That's right>>> the stock took off and went over 4 bucks in less than 15 minutes. That could have made my day. Plain and simple I got my ass kicked today!!

I am still up on the week overall but this definitely put a damper on what was looking like a stellar week. So its back to the drawing board. After reviewing every trade I made its clear that I chased. My chasing got even more aggressive as I kept getting stopped out of a trade. I kept thinking to myself, there is no way I am going to lose on every trade I make. Probably very similar thinking to someone sitting at the blackjack table getting his hat handed to him by a hot dealer. It was getting so bad that I didn't even post my trades because I didn't want anyone to follow me into another losing trade.
So I am not going to dwell on today, I will take my lumps and move on. I just need to make sure I don't make the same mistakes again tomorrow.

After going through my scans I am even more frustrated with my performance today.
Seeing all the missed opportunities has me rethinking my strategy. I am going to refrain from putting out a watch list tonight until I get my head straight and I am thinking more clearly.

I will have a watch list in the morning or possibly later tonight. Have a great evening folks.
