Thought I update my journal. Had a terrible day today. Returned everything I've gained for the past 3 weeks. About 19k. Overconfidence got the better of me. I should covered and stop trading instead I allowed the losses to keep piling... I wonder if I can ever pick up myself from...

Don't bother. I summered at one of the mentioned firms for equity research. And communicated with some other analyst from competing banks. My conclusion after 3months is ..Everyone is trying to bullshit one another. Everyone is pretty much clueless. Very rare to find someone who know what...

LOL. I need to learn the nuances of more products other than interest rates. Especially gold and ES.
