Obviously the time off from trading did you a lot of good. Nice trades. Again FWIW, not critiques, just observations. Those were gutsy trades from the point of view that longer time frames were against you, the day not having definitively rolled over yet. Today it seems that you shorted during periods of relatively low volatility, and patiently waited for price to go your way. Did you do that in the belief that the day WOULD roll over? Speaking of which, I waited all day for that, and then there was no follow through. Maybe tomorrow. Also, do you have a preference for shorting? You're close to being able to make a nice living trading. Congratulations!

trading gross loss $82 - commissions $26
day net loss $108

way off balance here, breaking my rules
trading quickly and without thought
Make a loss, and then start trading to
make that loss back.
Very disturbing, will quit for the day
and think things over.
