+ $220

There's a lot of money on that table from my TGT overnight short; if you find it please share :p

Still missing good entries, but also catching more than usual by being a bit more proactive in placing my orders.

I've posted a few of my good trading days, so it's only fair to post some of the crappy days, as well. The past 3 days have included two of my four worst trading days in history. As a result, it's been the worst 3-day period (and largest overall drawdown) in my trading history as well:

Monday: -$35,003
Tuesday: -$21,516
Wednesday: -$4,327

Not something I'm excited about, but I'm sure it's all just a temporary blip due to the effects from the election. Anyway, congrats to those with great results so far MTD. I hope to join you soon.

A suggestion for others when they hit a rough patch: I am slowly downsizing my trading size until the market environment improves for my trading systems. When in doubt, size down. When things are going well, size up (seems obviously, but not always something that people do)
 
Did not trade today.

Decided to take a little break after 5 (!) consecutive losing days. Granted the worst of those days was only $93, but still I need to pull myself together and trade with my head.

Will try again tomorrow.
