    Huge Losses

    I just want to say that I don't have a lack of discipline or anything like that. I am also not afraid to take a -$50 loss. I do have a good trading plan, although it is quite hard to stick to it at all times. I have traded on a simulator. But today was a special situation, which ended up...
