I guess your broker loves you...
So you lost 25% of your Account PL overnite? By "Account PL" you mean only Profit/Loss? What's your "Account" value?
Why did you lose $11,662 when you had a $4,000 stop loss? Was it a "mental" stop?

Very good point. I used the EOD data to show the account PL. As I mentioned this morning that I exited all positions (http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61970&perpage=6&pagenumber=14) so my real execution was much earlier and the loss is smaller. My account lost about $6,000 instead of $11,622 as I showed here. For the journal, end of day data is easy for people to keep track.
Account PL means gain/loss of the account including closed and open positions. Account value at the beginning of the day: $674,840. The stop is a mental stop, because the account has 60 positions.
