"Not telescoping out." Too hard to figure a 'Worst Day' -- but a consistency between the Very Bad Day candidates would be market moves that I missed because I was too focused on that day or that 3-5 day period (being a short-term trader and all that!) -- and completely missed what in hindsight were obvious longer-term market pressures. You just feel *sick*! Bracket trades for tick-scalping, Bracket trades for swing-scalping. And now, "RPA" robotic process trades. "Phew!"
