Today was really hard to trade 😩😩 At first, I thought everything looked good in the pre-market and it would rally, but it didn't go up. Then, even my usual reverse-position setups didn't hold for long. Back and forth, sigh. The market was too choppy.

Re-evaluation

Dimension Score Reason

Entry 4/10 Put had structure in the latter half; Call entry was chasing early on, and subsequent rebound Calls were mediocre

Holding 3/10 Averaged down on the first Call trade, a major taboo for 0DTE

Exit 4/10 Puts exited quickly, but Call stop-loss was too late

Position Discipline 2/10 Your standard is 1 lot, A+ is 2 lots; today you traded 3-4 lots multiple times

Overall 4/10 Small loss isn't the problem; the problem is breaking execution rules

One sentence: It wasn't that the direction was completely wrong, but the first Call trade messed up the rhythm, and the Puts only partially fixed it later. If I had strictly stuck to 1 lot, the loss would have been much smaller, and my mindset wouldn't have been thrown off.
