Today was a rough day. Another 11hours between logging on and logging off. Tomorrow doesn’t look like it will be any better. Nor Thursday.
At lunch, my stock option trades realized more disappointing losses. Doubt on my abilities are not only looming, but is pressing in on me from all sides.
The whole day felt like a slow crush on my very being.
It is times like this, that it’s important to have a log of your successes. I reminded myself that I’ve survived tougher weeks in the past.
I reminded myself that I’m had a successful December in trading and that I’m learning something new.
I reminded myself that losses in trading are inevitable and the best thing to do is to learn from them.
When you’re feeling down, remind yourself that you’re not out of the game. Pick yourself up and go at it again tomorrow remembering your wins.
