I was trading today in the tf I buy and sell at resistance/support, was having a good day. Then I figured I would try to scalp a few ticks at the close. I have tight stop and tight profit target with 6 contracts.
First thing is I have a rule that I don't trade after 2:45 ct. Apparently I forgot this rule. I took my first scalp at 2:58 next thing I know I open and closed 6 round trips for a total loss of $1500 in 2 minutes.
I don't understand why I did this, I don't understand why I forgot my rule. I especially don't understand why i did it 6 times. I had a bad trade in the yen where I was stopped put and then it reversed on me is what I think triggered the self destructive behavior.
In the future I need to handle my losses better, and know its a peobability game.
I found the best thing to cure a problem is tell as many people as possible.
