Cumulative and average 5 day (1 week) results.
The average is almost back to where I was before the big drops.
The average after the big drops is lower than before probably because I trade 1 and 2 contracts whereas before the drops I traded 2 and 4 contracts.
To me, your stops don't make sense, technically. They're along the path of acceptable adverse excursion instead of at levels where the thesis for the trade becomes suspect.
I derived my stop loss from historical MAE.
Today I moved/set my SL to minimize a potential loss and in the process I cut the branch I was sitting on so to speak.
Had I kept my calculated original SL or put it at , it would have been a great day.
I am not sure that I believe in the above law of attraction but thanks for the comment.
I would be looking for a more rational reason for my losses yesterday.
