even under cheetos 1 it was hard to trade until moneys were printed after covid. last two year was not normal, any expectations otherwise is playing luck.
This happens to me often. Just try not to beat yourself up over it and remember that every new day is another opportunity.
Make sure you don't have -100K days (or whatever, adjusted to your account size), so much easier to grow your account.
Long-term, as in buy-and-hold for years, now is the time to keep your powder dry because it's hard to grow a business when you (or your people) tell your clients/advertisers/partners to fuck off.
I was anticipating this kind of drop for the week, matter of fact I kept shorting every level and even got the high tick. But it was a very volatile morning and I got stop out on my trailing stop have numbers of time, and till mid day I thought we just gonna chop around for the day and missed the whole move. Easy to automate a strategy if your trading is base on moving average and mean reversion. Very hard to automate price action and context as said.
