    You got to take it easy come Monday morning.

    Friday's losses have nothing to do with Monday's trades.

    Think of the balance in your account as a brand new account that you're going to start trading Monday.

    Then take everything you learned from your previous trading experience and use it to preserve the existing balance by cutting losers quickly and GROW the account by letting winners run at least twice as far as your initial stop loss placement.

    If you think about what you had before the losses and feel you have to "get it back", you will lose more.

  8. honestly...YES and could not stand it...here is what I did...just came off a sweet +10 point SF profit right about lunch time...SO...should have just went to lunch but NO...had to jump in a TF trade when I thought it had another good leg down and POW...reversed up right away...that hit me hard!!...so yes, had a GREAT trading week until yesterday...pretty much wiped the weeks profits out. Learned a lot though...heading higher

  9. 1-agree, 'easy like Monday morning'...Commodores :)
    2-YES, that is what is encouraging me in that 'fridays losses have nothing to do with mondays trades!!'
    3-YES, thinking of it as a brand new account!
    4-WOW...great insight on letting the winners run and cutting losers more quickly...thanks much!
    ...thanks NoDoji!..

    QUESTION: once you enter, do you ever 'set a stop' and leave your platform and go to store, starbucks etc or stay right at it while in a trade?..for daytrading only
