Troy,
If this is a regular occurance then there is something wrong. If this
sort of thing happens once in a while then, fine no problem. Its part of
game. As long as you are winning in the long term and an analysis of your
trading pattern indicates a positive expectancy then relax...go have beer
and jump back in the saddle tomorrow.
We all have days where our 'trading sucks', but if we really thought that
in a general sense then we would be doing something else rather than
reading our realtraders email. In fact we would not be trading at all!
I find cold beer helps put things in perspective. Today was a good day
for me and I am on my third. Imagine what happens when I have a bad
day.....
ug...ug....ug...ahhhh!
