Days with such extreme bifurcation challenging in an of themselves, but I only added to it with mistakes of my own. And those mistakes exacerbated even more by trying so hard not so lose two days in a row. So...I lost two days in a row. And by my Trade Plan rules, that puts me into the penalty box for the opening tomorrow. I must start on the simulator and work towards achieving either 2 of 3, or 3 of 5 wining trades before I can get back off the sim. This is a good rule, but I can't express how much I hate being in it. It's a behavior governor, and prevents running too far amuck in the account before once again establishing some rhythm. And today, it feels good just to get away from the screen...
