So that was two mistakes then. First was in your entry -- but you discovered it quickly. The second was in not exiting when you realized it was a mistake. When you realized you made a mistake on buying (I'm assuming that's what you mean by "loading up the truck".), you should have gotton out right away, unless it was moving in your favor.
Agreeing with BullFighter Mike ... but who cares where the pain threshold is? If you think we're in a downtrend, sell your long and get short awhile.
I'm sorry D'ya. I really do feel your pain. We've all been there. But you really just need to cut your loss and move on. Don't get emotionally attached to your positions.
