How can missing the move entirely or giving back all of your profits be bad? In fact, if you missed the move entirely it was because you either were not around to take the trade or because you are inexperienced and don't have trust in your system. Neither of these is bad by themselves. Now...

Neither is bad. The only bad is deviating from your trade plan.

You know... if you follow the tradeplan long enough you will at least know whether it has + expectancy or not. If you keep violating it, you wont even deduce that...

Perfect example of what not to do. Unbelievable and attached to a position, both signs of either no trade plan or not following a tradeplan. The use of "should of" to solidify how bad he feels when he takes the final loss. "I'm screwed" which also should never be part of a vocabulary of...

Also, all that coulda woulda shoulda stuff is bullshit. If you coulda, you woulda and you wouldn't be talking about what you shoulda done. Thats neurosis applied to trading. Gotta let that kind of talk go... not just in trading. You can't travel back in time in any job/reality.

Thought i'd respond because i can see you are coming from a good place. Just a few humble opinions... #1 - No position is worth violating your tradeplan for. Whatever you have determined as your stop to use, more importantly, your max risk in %. If averaging down is the plan so be it, but...

Any response to this? Im curious... i have no opinions myself just an interesting thread...

Open pnl should never have anything to do with a trade.

Thank you for the response. I will update this thread later on most likely with some of my findings and additional questions if any.

An update on this topic for anyone interested... tradestation plans on integrating their equities, futures, and forex accounts into one in the future. The data for this isn't being announced but I was told by a representative it is a work in progress.
