I didn't really have a strong bias today but with the gap up into yesterday's high, I thought shorting for cash flow made sense. I got short CRWV 53's, PLTR 85, SPY 522s. There was a process to this where we went above the opening highs--just a little bit to SPY 525, and I was actually able to get out of risk and stay be profitable then too. Then I got short after the strength appeared to be fade away.
And then... I covered everything for small gains and decided to fold shop after that. I wasn't sure how confident to feel about a bigger move and I didn't want to fuck around and find out on any kind of news spike. I made 5k. Then we traded 4% lower. Jesus Christ.
I feel like I have the right read almost every single day, I'm just lacking the commitment to make the big play. I was leaning short Wednesday. I knew not to buy early last Thurs/Fri and even initiated some beta short (CRWV + bitcoin, which made a small amount of money). Yesterday, only got long and nailed the right timing. Today, only short and the right levels.
I think deep down, there's a very strong part of me that doesn't even want to trade and I am fighting that part every minute at the screen. I feel even more upset initiating the correct positions and piking them than if I were to have simply made the conscious decision to not trade at all.
