The biggest flaw/leak in my trading IMO is when I miss a trade/specific entry price .....even though I have tremendous conviction in the trade.I then have a tendency to sit back and stubbornly watch the trade go my way...and STILL refuse to enter the position.The flip side is it also keeps me on my toes and very disciplined

I get over missing a trade pretty easy, I don't know, I feel like if I can't get in where I want too, my margin of error is too tight and I don't want to worry too much. If a move happens and I miss it because I wasn't happy, I'll just wait for a dip or something, or think about the next move down the track.

I think it depends on how many potential trades are around, I always have new opportunities, if your system only gives you a few signals a week, then yeah, tilt trading is bad.

The Exchange has all the angles covered on earning reports. If earnings are good, and the price jumps, then, the earnings caused it. If the price doesn't change, then, the earnings were "priced in." If the price drops, then, investors "weren't impressed."

Conversely, if earnings are bad and the price drops, the earning were the cause. If the price doesn't change, the bad earnings were priced in. If the price jumps, then, investors "shrugged off" the bad earnings report.

The reality is that the earnings aren't the cause. They're the rationalization.

I really don't know how any non-member can make money trading intraday. Seems like you have a better chance at the track.
