Daily recap: closed with $5k PNL, but execution was messy. Took way too much risk on volume plays—caffeine jitters didn't help my decision-making. Position sizing was off. Still, the losses (if any) taught me more than smooth days ever would. Sometimes the real win isn't the profit—it's figuring out where you went wrong and why. Back to the drawing board tomorrow.

A profit of 5k is pretty good, but the risk management aspect definitely needs to be re-evaluated.

I have to note down the reason of jittery legs from caffeine for trading, haha, it's so true.

Caffeine jitters can still earn 5k? I would lose everything just from caffeine jitters.

From a technical perspective, this decision bias based on emotional fluctuations has actually been validated in classic behavioral finance studies—caffeine-induced cognitive biases leading to imbalanced position allocation. This phenomenon warrants in-depth analysis. It is worth noting that true trading optimization does not lie in single-day returns but in the improvement of risk-adjusted Sharpe ratio. It is recommended to introduce more rigorous position sizing models in the future.
