The quality of market action changes from day to day. Some days are brutally choppy, some impulsive and trending. Frustration can build when entry models that normally succeed so well get chewed up by today's current action. Don't become frustrated with choppy action. Just step back. Some days are better for trading than others. When all you're doing is giving back your earlier profits, you may be trading for revenge or desperation... that kind of stubborn refusal that sets in when you're sure your next trade is going to get it all back. It probably won't. In fact, you'll probably just lose more. Quit and come back to trade another day....
