First session over and it all ended in a massive anti climax due to tiredness and a heavy mouse finger. Yes, you guessed it, ended up backing 3 times, all getting matched, then the prices drifted out quicker than Linford Christie.
The P&L's are posted, and they do not make pretty reading.
I have learnt many things today;
- Take regular breaks - every one of my bigger losses came at a time when I needed to step back re-focus, and re-charge the noggin. (Except the first trade of the day - I was just too eager!)
- My concentration was terrible, I found myself jumping between the Dogs and the Nags at far too frequent intervals - the P&L shows that.
- Definitely ensure that you only have your trading software open, and nothing else. Checking those emails in between markets is not good.
- The one pleasing outcome was that I never let any trades go in play - most satisfying.
I will take the positives from the learning points, and tomorrow is another day.
Good job that extra 6 quid or so was in the bank, made up for the howler on the last trade that made me down tools for the night and head for the TV remote...
