Hi, Pat! I got stopped out of all of my positions. I lost 3% of my account today. It's frustrating. But not because of the money. I trade a very small account so I'm not financially hit. It's frustrating because I'm not being able to "read" the market, the signs. Or I fail to act on what I read. I study hard, I love this thing. I spend countless hours reading books and looking at hundreds of charts pe day to train my eyes. I'm doing pattern recognition exercises and everythig seems OK until I get in the real trade and the gods of the market decide to have a laugh at my expense and turn the trades (or the whole market for that matter, they're gods, aren't they?) against me the moment I touch the buy button. What the heck am I missing? I look around Tweeter and everybody seems to be succesfull. And doing so with a disconcerting easiness. It is so damn frustrating. I know what they say - "everythig works in the market, just not all of the time". It seems that I experience the "not all of the time" part. Again, it's not about the money. It's about the process. One moment I think I got it, the next one it's slipping through my fingers like sand. I think I need a few days away from the market. Anyway, thank you so much for reading this and I appologise for all this nonsense. But I just wanted to get it off my chest. Thank you for everything you do for us. Sincerely,
André
