Tech issues this morning, NYSE cancelled orders were stuck for two hours...effected my confidence, was up $569, then bent over to pick up a nickel in front of a Exxon tanker truck, peeled myself of pavement after being -2000...finished -$438, end of 10 day streak.
What a crappy day!!! Was up $800 going 20 mins into the close then lost most of it, what a pain!!!!! Ended the month at $11k and change.
Hats off to you guys with the great months. It was my first month trading and ended down 2.5% after having a comeback over last week. Hopefully can keep at it. +250 today net to net, went out holding an overnight short. Was down 1300 an hour before the close after missing the morning taken my daughter to an appointment.
Need to adapt to these volatile days. Widen my stops. Got stopped out 4 times on what would have been beauties because I was playing too tight. Kind of frustrated today felt like I couldn't get anything major going. Sometimes my problem is I go for perfection when I trade. I know its not possible but thats what I do. It hurts me and I need to overcome it.
