Lol, it's good I can laugh, or maybe not, but i screwed up big today! 
I managed to sit on my hands for the first 20 minutes, o yes, but what I did after that was total bullshit. I took some setups and they went against me, not a big deal but to start with 4 stopped out trades is a thing I must adapt and learn how how to deal with it. As the day continued I screwed up some very nice setups just because the confident was gone. Just a total off day!!
It isn't surprising that i closed at max intraday down. Were was my head when i reached my max daily loss, ouch!? By far the worst day this month! Plan to sim trade tomorrow or cut my base size with 50%. I prefer the first.

I don't give much weight about a loss day but $150 is the limit next month. This month little profit ruined only by 2 mismanaged loss days. A good but very expensive lesson.
