My 401(k) won't update until tomorrow, so I can perversely check exactly how much I lost. I was at +18.9% YTD through yesterday. Bet we knock that down half a dozen points. 🙃

Yeah, I've got to trust my charts more, lol. I've missed so many wins this week by being too cautious.

If I were more courageous, I had a pair of counter-trend 3:1 trades mapped out bouncing off some overlapping standing order zones I charted...
