I might be the worst trader on the planet. I thought I committed myself to trading with extreme discipline, but I was wrong. I decided to double my trade size today because I wanted to double the profit. I knew I wasn't going to be trading tomorrow due to the FOMC meeting, but I had a weekly profit goal in mind. That was a big mistake. I forced myself into breaking my own system, which I never should have done. I also shouldn't have doubled down when I knew I was wrong. I went from trading to gambling and it cost me dearly. I'm still planning on taking the FOMC day off from active trades. The day itself is notoriously choppy, but I also need a day to reset my mental attitude.
I'll explain everything in more detail in today's update video.
