Not too bad for this kind of moves
как на счет эмоциональной стороны?
спокоен и уверен в себе? или some dark thoughts creeping in?

I use to worry before. Now, I don't even think about market. My trading is 95% mechanical, and I just do whatever needs to be done and move on.
With earnings, I know ahead of time that in 4 out of 10 earning trades the stock would blow through my strikes and I'll have to defend it. I also know that I would be able to scratch or make money in 3 out 4 runaway trades.
The only time I get in trouble, is when don't follow mechanics or trade too big.
