7 losers / 3 breakevens..... I'd say if this pattern has been pretty much repeating itself recently, then you need to maybe look for some new ideas. If it was only a recent one time occurrence, it's really no big deal. Shake it off, get back in there Monday!
================ Not bad at all, before 2003 blew up an account; improper money management[too large position size.] Actually for a careful chart trader, intraday some or swing/position trade; 1 loss can say a lot, maybe the trend changed. Number 72 helps , thats wisdom; 72 hours work week can help much also. At least you didnt blow you r account up .
Its just the mathematics of investing. If your system has a 70% success rate it is only a matter of time before you get 11 losers in a row. When it happens it doesnt mean anything at all unless you give it meaning. Brandon
Such a period can help you focus your energies on where to improve. IMO, a *string* of losers is caused by (1) wrong directional bias, (2) you played for *trend* when you should have been playing for *chop*... or vice versa, and (3) your stops were generally too tight.
