End of Day emotions:  Today was a good day, with a fantastic IWM Calls scalp from lows of day and QQQ Put scalp during lunch time what gave me huge cash flow for the day/week. The only thing was that I took too many trades between 11:30 and 1pm, that got me chopped so I had to close for small PnL, but it was the preparation for the big trade that came later, so I’m very happy with risk management and trading plan. Need to keep my focus and repeat the process over and over again!
