I did it again. I do not know what is wrong with me.  I definitely have a problem.  I had about 15 cookies last nite. Delicious! I just can’t stop. If I eat one then I will eat 15.

I went to three XMAS parties this week. That was one too many.

I did not trade very much last week. I missed Monday because I was sick. Tuesday I traded RHT. The rest of the week I was with family. But I am going to trade on Monday.

It’s funny even though I have traded for over 11 years when I miss a few days I feel out of it. I feel like I will not have a good feel for the market. I am a bit anxious as I write thinking of trading on Monday after being away for a few days.  And I always feels like this when I have missed a few days. I wonder if I will be prepared to trade tomorrow since I missed a few days last week. And I only missed a few days.

But tomorrow I will trade lightly. I have missed a few days. The holidays are still here so volume will be light. I will focus on a Stock in Play. I will probably stop trading after the Open and just wait for the Close. I will lower my tier size. I will wait for my best trading setups. I will spend some more time preparing for the Open. I will trade carefully and work on regaining my feel.

If you are going to miss a few days over these holidays or have missed a few days, then take it slow. Regain your feel. It is ok to be off just a bit since you missed some screen time. It might take you a few trades to get your timing back. Be aware that you do not have the same information that others who have not missed a few days may have. And the one thing you do not want to do is rip it up because you have been away for a few days. That is a huge mistake.

Good luck with your trading!
