I blew up this morning. But I feel fine.

  1. That's true. Means your thresholds have widened.. (it's a good thing)

  2. My loss today puts me back exactly 4 trading days!

    Why just 4 days? Because I withdraw whatever I make EVERY SINGLE WEEK!

    So we are not talking about 10% of compounded account....luckily.

    That's why I don't feel too bad.

  3. "Blowing up" is losing 100%. Do it twice then let us know how you feel.

  4. Nice, good work. Your style is really the only way to survive in the long run. What do you trade, stocks or futures?

    sounds like you are still feeling invincible and complacent.

    I would STOP trading for the week and rethink things through.

    10% is a lot for ONE DAY..

    5 days and its 50% if you are in losing streak.
