When Conviction Meets Opportunity

As thrilled as I should be after a day like Thursday (NQ down 1900, ES down 360, etc.) I am not. Yes, it was a profitable day – – quite so – – but since I’ll never allow myself to celebrate anything,

I can’t help but look at my portfolio of pretend options: the “if you had balls of steel” positions. Let’s take a peek:

Hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits. Five positions deep into triple digit percentage gains.

It’s a bit of a silly exercise, I’ll grant you that. Still, it’s hard to look at something like this and wonder why I can’t just attach whatever extra body parts are needed to place trades like this and, more importantly, trust that they’ll mostly work out!
