Poor results, I am planning to start a journal to improve my
trading. Hopefully feedback from more experienced traders will assist me in becoming a better trader.

I had 2 losers this morning, thereafter I found it hard to get back

Quote from beachhouse:

S/he is pulling your leg. Nobody who lost that amount of money would come onto a website chatting about the loss. A big loss is like a severe sickness, it simply strikes a trader down physically. I know a guy who didn't eat for a week after a heavy loss. And I heard a hedge fund guy who cried like a baby after a heavy loss.

This is where you are mistaken. 50K is not a big loss to many people. You just don't know any. As a matter of fact 2K is a much bigger loss and has more severe psychological consequences to some people than does 50K to others.
