I admire your honest admission when your emotions take charge. We're human, and that is why we continue to make this same 'mistake" over and over. Thanks for sharing this lesson. I learned something from you today.

I made a similar mistake. I martingaled in on Euro-Yen and was stopped out on my daily loss limit.

The way the FX market sold off makes me think this could be a minor inflection point. Maybe the bots are in sell mode now. If so, we should see some follow through to the downside. But then again, wtf do I know I am done for the day and not for a good reason.
