Not a great week with regards to trading nor my life. It's nothing bad as such, a pulled oblique muscle, but bugger me it is painful! As a result my trading suffered not only because I find it hard to sit (it hurts in my lower abdomen, the similar pain as that of being hit in the balls, only the pain doesn't fade unless I stand or walk), but because I just didn't feel like it.
Up until Thursday I was 52 points down, had I stuck religiously to my strategy I would've been 56 points up (!) so not great. However, as always, there were some moments of good, for example, I didn't scalp out when the opportunity presented itself, I held firm and exited as per my strategy. I did this on a couple of days. I moved stops to breakeven, I considered adding, I used Buy and Sell stop orders to enable me to focus on one market instead of trying to watch both. So as you can see, it wasn't all bad. Friday I didn't trade until after 10am as I went for a walk instead, so only took one trade and maybe could've made more but elected to stop.
All in all, not a real bad week and one that got me thinking and lead to the idea for my next blog post with regards discipline, so all in all, I'm happy and fully accepting of the outcome. Onwards and upwards as they say.
