The early morning down move was just too quick for me. Sat on the sideline, as I was not comfortable trading in such a fast market. In the past, I tend to end up buying the tops and selling the bottoms, when trying to join in.

Finding it very hard to stay concentrated on the chart all day. I tend to toggle between the chart and news, trading and travel sites. This results in quite a few missed trade setups. Need to be more disciplined at trading (it's a job, after all). Then again, I said the same thing awhile back. Maybe consider changing the title of this blog to "Distracted Trader"?

Today was almost like...

Did 4 trades, but only 1 of which was a clean winner.

Happens quite often, but not sure why I tend to trade against the general market direction. Was an uptrend day today, but all 3 of my trades were countertrend (shorts). I was not filled on the long setup that I liked. Would've been a very good winner, had I gotten in with a runner, though.

Ending the day, as Fed Chair Yellen is due to speak (12:15 PM). Not sure if this is of any significance, but not taking any more chances/trades.
