Hello. Today wasn't good either. I was $-640. I kept digging a deeper hole until I just stopped. I was up a couple hundred then lost and started revenge trading. Its a bad habit loop. At least I survived to trade another day.

I am a price action trader. (Studied under Mack for 5 Years). I trade ES, scalp 4 ticks and let the rest run with an 8 tick stop. The only time I have a bad day is when I don't follow my own rule.

I'm a price action trader as well. Did better today. Almost stopped out close to daily max loss, but recovered and up 300 today!

Awesome! I did $400 today. 3 Trades and out. I close my computer when I hit my goal and do not look at it until the market is closed.

That was a big recovery for you. Did you trade big today or widen your stop?
