Say you're a farmer and you have been a fairly successful farmer as farmers go. Year after year you farm the way you know works, the way you have been successful. Sometimes it's a dry spring, sometimes it doesn't rain for four straight weeks, sometimes the crop is a bit thin, but overall, it all has worked out pretty well.
One year it doesn't rain for three months, the crop is withered and dying. You have done exactly the same things that have brought you success in years previous. But it doesn't matter. Because the one thing that is not conducive to farming is occuring for an extended period of time.
So what do you do. Do you pull up and move on, change your whole way of farming, put in irrigation for an event that has not as yet been anything other than a rare occurence? Do you examine yourself as a farmer and treat yourself harshly because it didn't rain. What.... you should have known this day was coming?
Well you did know it. There is always the worst drought, the hottest summer, the coldest winter, the most this, the least that...! Does it mean that you knee-jerk and make unnecessary changes? No. Does this mean you are spiralling into the depths of hell? No. It means you are on a losing streak. Is there a cogent and valid reason for it? Yes.
You were on fire before, now you are cold as ice. I bet you weren't asking questions when you were hot. But now you're cold and wonder why. The market sucks right now for your style. That's all. It was great for your style in mid-May thru June. It stinx for your style right now.
I'd do like RS7 said and cut back the size. Streaks are a part of the game regardless of what you might be told. And you know it anyway. So stay cool, cut back, preserve your capital, and live to trade another day.
Other than that, have a beer,
