Charting Journal | 8.30.2022 | Tuesday

Feeling considerable FOMO again here 8:47am, looks like a solid bear flag type PA forming and there is ample opportunity to the downside, but I’ve resolved not to trade for the remainder of the month for fear of losing the gains I’ve accumulated thus far. This may be a framework I need to abandon, or at least revisit, as the opportunities in the market are not going to align with my own schedule of trading, and I should allow for some flexibility to be able to take advantage of things as they arise. But for this month, for the sake of living up to the plan I’d made, and also for the sake of keeping this level of profit—even with the potential of making more—I need to, and want to, sit on my hands. I need to frontload any of the other work I have for the month of September into the next few days so that I can be as open as possible to focus on trading. This exuberance is lively now, but a few losses in & I’m sure it will be curbed. I need to remember the market is an abounding landscape for loss as well as prosperity. Relax brother. Also, running on less than 8 hours of sleep, so anxiety is expected to be gnawing more intensely than usual. Stay the course.
