My First Shutdown

June 18, 2008, Wednesday

-$50 on 8,800 shares traded.

Rules are rules. It’s just that, I don’t understand why it’s not helping me at all. Think about it: if in every single trade, I weren’t to cut my losses at -$3, the position I had would have easily rebounded to at least $2 or even $5.

Ang inaalala ko lang, iba naman kasi ang iniisip ng mga boss ko dito. Baka sabihin nila na sinasadya ko ang losses bawat trade. [I worry much about what my bosses will say; it's not that I choose to lose everytime]

It’s difficult, you know. I’m thinking about giving it a mandatory rest, “it” being the trader career itself. I’m way overstressed with my current string of losses. My heart needs a little more lovin’ than this.
