lacking the feel

This whole week has been all about transitioning to new trading platform, allocating more time to trading stocks from other work, and getting back to trading after been out of the market for more than 3 weeks.

Having just gotten back to trading on Tuesday, I have been having a lack of feel for the markets. With the new software platform, I found myself having to re-adjust my feel. Sure charts are charts, but something just felt different and that kept me off the game mentally.

Generally, i was constantly entering trades against the general market; being timid about entering trades; and just lacking confidence in my execution (i never had so many canceled orders ever). Something's definitely wrong with my mental game. I will use this weekend to reflect on what exactly were the issues that bothered me and find solutions to correct them fast.
