M Mr J Apr 16, 2009 #42 Double-digit losses? Certainly not on one trade, and it'd likely take dozens of trades. Double-digit losing runs are to be expected, so when they come there should be no emotional response.

N NYC212 Apr 24, 2009 #43 just had my worst day today. Im holding in there. all my gains from the month of April are about gone. I climbed the mountain and fell off. trades were going against me and I continued to add on size assuming they would come back around but they never did. I almost want to do "cover 100%" when IM down a certain amount. -------bad idea I bet
