I was tempted to open a second operation just because of the euphoria... but I stood by. I closed the platform. Double victory today.

That second victory is more important than the first. Controlling emotion is cracks.
Today was a bath of humility. I tried a breakout in gold... and it went against me me mercilessly. -14.5 $ My failure not to expect confirmation.
Gold doesn't forgive rookie errors. If you're not 100% sure, you better not touch it.
Balance so far: -2.7 $. I am surprised how emotional this is, even with a small account. I feel every loss as if it is ten times greater.
That's normal. Emotional doesn't have to do with the size of the account, but with the ego of the trader.
I've decided to limit myself to two operations a day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon if I see something clear, I'm overexposing myself and I don't even realize it.
