Very nice. I lost 4 points yesterday. Happened early on, and then I had technical problems and couldn't get my platform working properly to even try to recover the losses. Possibly for the best, though. Knowing me, I'd have likely been trying to catch a bottom too early and could have lost a lot more!
For me, those rather personal comments about your state of mind are half the reason for following this thread. It shows you're human and how you're learning to deal with it. As for the loss, I know you see my question coming from a mile away... Did you break any specific rules from your plan to end up exceeding your maximum daily loss by 45% like that? Or do you actually set yourself a more fuzzy maximum and still consider the day in line with the worst case you're comfortable with? (My main theme is risk aversion, so I'm naturally curious.)
I belatedly realized that I posted my trades in the wrong thread! (Press the "up arrow" next to my username to be taken to the original posts.)
