Its Hammer Time

For my account... I had to shut down early today for the first time. Took 3 back to back losers. Luckily two of those losers were in the NQ/YM so the $ damage was minimal but after racking up close to 200.00 in losses I called it a day. I took the trades that were there, just none of them worked. So in the interest of self preservation I threw in the towel around 9:45 this morning. Frustrating, but I can dig myself out of a 200.00 hole. To keep trading with a slightly jaded mindset and potentially digging myself deeper wasn't something that sounded like a good plan.

No one day should make or break your account!

Trade Results:
3 Trades, 3 Losses
Gross P/L: $-192.50/per

Not to beg, of course, but I always like when you post how your losers worked out. Just for educational purposes and such. Care to comment?

Of course, I wouldn't be unhappy if you didn't comment.

Worked out? As in show the trades or what?

Those charts you post. You show the ones that work often, but I'm curious what a loser looks like in your world.
