SB hold anything overnight and your just asking for it... You should know this. A gap is a gap and no stop will save you from that. You do this a while and you will see things that you never thought you would see and those times will blow you out. You keep talking about breathing room. Just...

Recap was good, shows that this is real trading, nobody is immune to some losses on trades of course. Mental stops require ice in the veins. Props to you if you have been successful without hard stops , something not many can do including myself. Are you trading with a partner/team? I...
