I lost $120 today... grossed $500-600, I forget the exact number... but I was up NET $520 at lunch, and gave it all away churning, fighting stock, and revenge trading... trading 300-500 share lots, $500 is my daily goal... that I hit my goal and gave it all back and went net negative on the day because I took out unresolved emotional issues coming from my childhood on my trading account disguists me... I really thought I had gotten over this stage...
That feeling of "I was just up $520, now I'm only up $380, RGRGRGRGR, I MUST MAKE THAT MONEY BACK (despite it being 12:23 and seeing no setups)... AH WTF $235, WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT $235, MIGHT AS WELL SIZE UP AND TRY TO MAKE BACK WHAT I LOST!!!"... is very very not good for my P/L..
