Great videos oh here Bloom!

I love the "icy cool" feel of the charts in this one - there's something relaxing about the colors. I think this is good for state of mind.

Don't beat yourself up about this. With this cycle of trade and review, you are able to see the issues, acknowledge them and rectify them.
