Stupid Mistakes - Weekly summary (Jun 2 - Jun 6)
A positive week.
But, a couple stupid mistakes cost me a really great week.
Basically, I forgot to disable/enable some settings in my automated trading software. Would've made an extra $400 or so if I did.
Damn. Oh well.
Here's the trades from the past week:

Decided to randomly open an Iron butterfly on SLV. Seemed like a good idea for some reason. My random trades usually don't work out though...

Notes, Lessons and Thoughts #
The week started off well.
Win on Monday. Big win on Tuesday. Small loss on Wednesday.
Then, a big fat loss on Thursday wiped out my momentum.
Funny thing is that I have been skipping Thursdays for the past while due to poor results. For some reason, I decided to trade it again this month.
Friday could've been a solid day, but somehow I accidentally disabled one of my automated trades which would've netted another $100-$200.
This week felt like I was 1st place in a race, then tripped at the finish line and finished 4th.
Not a terrible result, but could've been so much better. 😅
