I have been trading out of the zone for the month of February and because of this, I have decided after several conversations with friends, colleagues, mentors and a new psych trading coach/friend Kim Ann Curtin to no longer trade for the week of 2/17. I don't have a defined date on when I will continue but the ideal situation will be after I no longer feel the anxiety to trade.

Lately, I have been coming to the market with excitement and anxiety/fear to lose. This stems from the big loss I took on the first Friday in Feb. If you haven't listened to that episode I highly recommend you go back and listen to it -> February Challenge - Update on Trading Progress
