How do you get over a big losing day?

Quote from BCE:

That's funny , but no need to punish yourself. The "bad" trades are punishment enough. Don't beat yourself up. We need to learn to be kind towards ourselves and cut ourselves a break. We work hard mostly and do our best. We're only human. Maybe treat yourself to a nice dinner or whatever. We can be our own best friends and do for ourselves what we wish someone else would step in and do. Life is difficult at times no doubt. Let's all be kinder toward and more accepting of ourselves and our failings. It's only trading after all and our lives are so much more than that. You'll be okay. We can tell already in your approach to this you're learning.

No, wrong way to train how to trade,
If I were u , i'd have some cow shockers and shock myself a few time, or some pliers to plie up a piece of my skin until it bleeds.


or u can just write out your mistakes, draw it out, tape it on your wall, u paid for it.

Is this the strategy to use on your kids when they make a mistake?

Stop trading. You'll never lose again.

+1. Figure out what the hell you did wrong and don't do it again. Unfortunately, sometimes it takes years to figure it out.

Why is hell better than learning how to trade?
In hell you can do all the damage you want to yourself, and it doesn't matter.
In hell, well at least you know you are in hell, like, really.
In hell, there are no markets to trade. Less pain.

I take the opportunity to catch up on my crying and screaming.

I'd be interested to know how a birther would answer that question.

Wishful thinking...in marriage you know who your enemy is. Either you or whoever is crazy enough to want to be with you.

When learning how to trade you don't know if your enemy is yourself; your conscious, subconscious or a hidden aspect of your subconscious you never knew existed. Then there are all other markets participants which are mostly all evil, the evil market makers, the time of the year, week, day, hour, the amount of money you have or don't have, your upbringing, your inherited psychological makeup, the circumstances around you, the government's interference with the markets, raining in Guatemala, the damn system you bought that is worthless 98% of the time.......etc...

That's an interesting view!

The logical conclusion is because everyone and everything is evil a priori, there is no point to balme anyone including yourself.

I stated that while you are learning you don't know who the real enemy is. Hence everything might look like your enemy at any given time. Evil is a prehistoric term, I used it for it's satirical purpose only.
