ok... all I can say here is, keeping a journal is more work than I expected, keeps my eyes away from what's more important but a few tips if anyone ever come across it...
don't trade short term, the extra pressure is not worth it, your broker doesn't like it, and in the end, your profit is NOT much different to trading a longer interval, certainly worth the brain cells you'll save
trust your system, but also question your system, and do enough testing to make sure it's as accurate as you thought it is, my golden phase, be honest with yourself, make sure your analysis will return better than 1:1, then any accuracy above 50% will bring in profit!
let your trades roll, unless you need the money now, else don't close it off prematurely...
