I got one:
Today happens to be the day where I'm transferring my funds to another account. This means I haven't been able to trade today and will probably not before thursday.
At first I kept thinking about all the opportunities I'm missing today.
But then I realized, that this might be the best thing that could have happened. I probably avoided a huge loss today, which I'm sure would have occured while trying to pick the bottom.
The next days are going to be very interesting though - and that's when I'll be able to trade again.
