T.J 5-31-13 Carried away?

It's Friday and end of the month. I was expecting a choppy and two way price discovery. The market acted as expected until  around 2pm. It start to fall hard. I had 6 sell puts orders, 17 contracts filled. 2 of orders had bad entries due to my adjustments earlier. They were reflections of my frustration of no fill in the last 2 days. I wasn't well prepared for this sudden drop although FT71 posted a possible low of 1629. I forgot my travel plan and over traded for the June WK2. I didn't keep a cool head with a good plan. I will have to manage the risk next week to exit the 2 low entry positions.

The ZW long position was closed to the tick of my target. I followed my rules and it worked out in my favor. Disciplines and rules don't guarantee every winner but keep your emotion and risk in check. The trade was a lucky one. It dropped to a tick before my stop and hit to the tick of my target.
