  1. Empire Strikes Back

    Tuesday: -400
    Wednesday: -3000
    Today: -600

    I am devastated and humbled. Despite being more experienced than ever, I am experiencing my worst drawdown ever. Something seriously wrong with that. Was expecting huge rally today, my stops on long positions got hit over and over till i gave up an hour into the day (yesterday i didn't give up and had my biggest loss). I'm just too scared to trade right now, which is actually a great thing because I haven't been respecting risk enough lately. Will trade small and conservative from here till I get to that Steve T. like consistancy, then I'll still trade conservatively but with gradual size increases.

    Hi Steve,

    It's great to have someone of your caliber in the forum.
    Could you please post a screenshot along with your
    daily numbers so we may admire?

    Thanks!

    Down $34 today. Fire at Genesis, and the trading system started getting flaky. The morning was tough for me, lots of little losers. When the big rallies came, BLZX was down so I missed the key breakout.

    Why did the fire have to be today!?

  5. Worst day of the month so far but still green at least. I dont think it could have been more dead/boring.

    What might be of interest in this thread is how many trades per week or day people place , and what % of their account is risked on each trade.
