The goal I had for myself today was to not hesitate to enter on the right opportunities. Hesitation means not hesitate to enter a good setup; it also means not afraid of being wrong and take quick losses.
I'd give myself a grade of 80%. There were still moments when I'd rationalize too much on a setup and therefore missing the entry. Protective thoughts started entering my mind to protect my existing profits and not taking on further risks. But in reality, the market doesn't care about my profit and loss, it does what ever it wants to do. So by worrying too much about my own profitability, I actually prevent more profitability. Next time, if the setup is right, I'd need more conviction and just go in with a smaller size first and then add when it is working. By doing so, I prevent myself from rationalizing too much and create a just do it attitude.
Another thing that's still bothering me is that I tend to exit winners too quickly. But it's a difficult thing to deal with because alot of times I'm actually saved by being out so quickly. I guess this is a *feel* thing that I still need to develop and let winners run at the *right* moments.
Anyway, my goal for tomorrow is still to enter/exit trades without hesitation or rationalization.
