I added in an extra line in my accounting to account for misc charges. That's 10.00 for data because I'm not active enough, and 5.79 from my forex mess on page 1, which I pulled out of the PnL to Date line. Now the PnL to date will only include system trades.

Quote from rdg:

When I'm just starting out and trading it aggressively, it won't be surprising to see it lose 10 or 15% of the account on a single trade. So be it.

So be it indeed:
