I am sitting here in a daze. Once in a great while I screw up where I am in and out of something that I do not completely clear out a position. I try now to have my overall PNL turned off but I have a place where each trade shows up and the PNL. If the PNL is changing I know something is wrong.

June was the worst month I had in years for me.
Bottom line down 3079.76.
I had not had a down 2000 month since December of 2009.
I do not remember being down more than $2500 since I started day trading.
That is how bad it was. Comment - Like

Not a good week. I do not know if I am thinking too much or too little. Again when I am usually more aggressive, I am being a wimp. Again I did not go with a clear buy signal that would have covered all my weekly loses because the previous 3 trades were tough and a net loser.
