Took a big beating today

I was down over $800 by 9:45. Lost $144 in HP. I bought 600 at 26.59, got out at 26.35 for a $144 loss. I lost $54 in CLE. The trade that really got me fired up was a long in HB. That trade cost me $590. I then caught a trade in BIG for around $300 so I trimmed my loss down a bit.



Then came another series of mistakes. I was putting on trades without any thought of consequences. I went into berserker mode, trading anything that I thought would move. After all the losses I found myself down over $950. I felt like I hit rock bottom at this point. I calmed myself down.



I managed to recover a big part of my losses by having discipline and patience. I ended my day down $360. This lesson will teach me how to trade better.
