Matt I super appreciate you and your candidness, your
vulnerability with us, and making us better traders.
Am I pissed off that I lost all my gains and then some for
the year. Absolutely.
However, I am 90% pissed at myself, 10% pissed at the system,
and 0% at you. Ultimately, I chose to take the trade, I chose
the dollar allocation, and I chose the stops. For 8 months of
the year I stuck to the letter of the law and used data. For
September, I reverted back to old habits and using emotion/feelings
and it bit me hard.
So now the question is, what do I do about? I am going
to continue following the systems, use the same dollar allocations,
but stick to stops based on data and not on feelings. If
burning 8 months of work in 1 month isn't a lesson I learn, that is
on me and not on you. If anything, I am glad that you
continue being my copilot and that I will be able to make some of
that make over the rest of 2023.
Onwards and upwards brother!
