Sounds like really good advice. Thank you. Eventually I guess its gonna boil down to the discipline to stick with the measures taken to prevent it from ever happening again.
If you're a professional you act like a professional=come into work the next day. QUOTE]Quote from jinxu: Simple question. How do you get over a big losing day? [/QUOTE]
In all seriousness,lol. For me its lifting heavy @ the gym, having good sex ( pref. with a latina) , or doing something that I know I AM GOOD AT all/most of the time to make myself feel better.
I am only in my 2nd month of trading so take this with a grain of salt. I had one very bad losing day. It helped me. Now the small losses don't seem that big of a deal anymore, thus it is now easier for me to practice good stop-loss discipline. I am not profitable yet, but at least now I know somewhat how to lose money, at least with small cash accounts. I would like to think that by having first hand experience in losing money, I can avoid losing as much of it in the future. P.S. I didn't get upset or emotional over that bad trade (9% account value loss). Maybe because I prepared myself for the possibility that I would lose money in the beginning as part of my learning curve and decided to use it as a learning experience.
Go out on a dinner date with NoDoji and listen to her shit for 3 hours. Then have breakfast with Jack Hershey. All your losses will be forgotten.
Don't focus in what to do to get over a big losing day. Focus in how to avoid having a big losing day.
