The Tide Has Changed 1-29-21

 The majors incurred a big selloff this week after making new highs on Monday. It was sudden but within the seasonality. SPX lost about 4% for the week while RUT shredded off 5.5%. Feb could be a difficult month historically. 

My net liq is on the borderline of 100K. The leverage is up to 480. No major improvement is insight. Both sides are deep ITM. 

I got caught in a bad IF 0 DTE trade on Monday. I failed to make a stop in both IB and ET account. I was overconfident the puts would have worked when SPX broke out to ATH on Monday. But the tide changed on the next day. I kept making the same costly mistakes. It costs thousands of dollars every time. A bad habit is so hard to change. Am I self-sabotage? Got to take the short time pain instead of the long time suffering. This is the main roadblock for me to turn around my career.
