BEAS, ENT, RMBS

I came quite late to my screens yesterday after a social outing. I usually don’t trade in those cases but I saw the market was relatively strong and I had a few candidates so I put on 3 trades. Unfortunately I was very tired, distracted and overall not in the best shape for trading. That showed up quite fast too as I made heaps of mistakes:

1. Missing out on order entry at the right time and having to chase a ENT and RMBS a little.
2. Mistakes in order entry, had to cancel a few orders and re-enter them as I saw some orders that should have fired not getting triggered.
3. Quantities were also affected by the above.

Anyways, eventually it turned OK depsite the above. ENT - I used a relatively tight stop where I normally don’t and it closed for -0.9R. BEAS - didn’t have a lot of steam in it and closed for +0.8R. But the main winner was RMBS - I scaled out, which wasn’t the best way to manage it so ended up with +5.5R instead of a much larger R. So the end result is +5.4R for the day.

On the positive side, well it was a multi R profit day after all, due to the recently increased R, today was a new personal record for me with highest gain in a single day in terms of $. So kind of mixed feelings, good result but could have been a bad one too. I’m now pretty much crook with fatigue and still have the whole of Friday ahead of me. Can’t wait to get some proper sleep tomorrow.
