Now I cut the size so it will be even more to go back. I will also make a break and try to found what's missing.
It wasn't especially tricky market. I was just stubborn and overwhelmed with emotions. If I was sane and scalping everything would be fine, but I wasn't. It's not something new to me but it's always hard to prevent it on time. Well for certain I would lose much more from this point on if I don't face the problem.
I'll show the charts but I don't have the mood to point the sizes and trades.

Happened to me yesterday. I STILL need to work on my trading. I bought near the bottom yesterday for a good scalp, and let a $300-600 easy trade turn into $180, all from fucking shit up with the placement of my stops. Then I went into the red after that from adding to a loser. I'm a master of procrastinating, but I need to get my ass to work on my SET in STone trading plan. Most of my fuck-ups come from not being prepared. If I just traded full time and got 8 hours of sleep I would probably kick ass, but I got a lot of shit on my plate with working 40hrs a week and other stuff. I always liked your comments when I had my blowup days. Just get your shit together and make dam sure you are prepared for the trading day, I mean really plan the day out, and use the right trading SIZE. It's something I've done a few times and have had good results from.
Thanks man I really appreciate comment from you because I know that you understand me in situation like this.
Thanks 4x on support. Not so big loss but it sure did mess my mind.
Glad to hear from you Orion. From that day I'm totally on break from markets. It's not problem in a loss but in a way it happen. I was doing bad things and didn't want to stop. Good trading ideas didn't cross my mind. I'm little afraid of myself not the market. So now I'm totally out. I don't want to think about trading nor trade. Maybe I'm just fed up and need real break. We will see. For now I check charts just of curiosity and read blogs. It looks to me that my motivation for trading was hit the most, or this loss pointed to problem. I don't know much about all of this just that I don't want to trade for some time now.
Regarding your missed profits when you put trade on b/e. For me that's disturbing when it happen and make more damage than potential profit would make reward. So I just want to skip that stay with scalping and be happy with booking a profit. For me brake came when I put away mixing of trading strategies. If I'm scalping than I'm not swing trading.
I understand what you are saying. Hell I was thinking about just staying the hell out of this market myself man. Take a break and get your mind off of it if that is what your instincts tell you. Talk to you later my friend.
