    How bout not thinking that way, I notice when traders start chatting about big losses, they usually get them. Just better getting in when dropping in into "Cluster" of support in uptrend as this way you can risk less than when market moving higher in uptrend cause then you need larger stop loss.

    Good job !!!

    Its just generally what happens, i hold on too tight don't want to take a loser, average down and blow a chunk of change on 1 stupid trade lol

    But good news....


    Just took a loser, went long ej turned against me out -$70, not a huge issue, i did hold longer than i should there is still some 'hope' to squash, -$20, flipped and reversed would of been perfect.


    Tis getting there, i just need a simple logical enough system i can trust, looking promising :)

    Not going great today to be honest, pulled back a chunk just, -120 here, was -250 so yeah :)

    I blame lack of sleep, too counter trend today, added 18sma to try to compensate.


    Bad run of trades aswell, statistically irrelevant.

    Back to profitable on the day just :)


    Less changeable market conditions boosted by the 18sma.


    If i give up work SOON then i have with current invoices out standing 3 months cash, few good days and sorely tempted, very very sorely.

    I was trading to early around news and market opening times thats all.

    Made some more about $100 up, good pull back from -250.

    -110 here, first year turned kept it small fine, 2nd trade went to profit like to turn my way, then fast run against me, bailed at the low right before it reversed.
