Getting very long here in equity indexes. Stop in place so that I don't become irrational. Edit:Went monkey long and got stopped on all trades. Also I am now .58 cents from hitting max drawdown so if I place one more trade next time , I am out of the combine..... sucks. Talked to a rep and I still have a full day of daily loss limit to get account back up above the max drawdown. Thought I was smart buying the pullback in equities, did not anticipitate market going as low as it did, and I did not wait for full setup. So being impatient and greedy cost me. I should be greedy when all the stars align. Theory was right, however timing is important. This game is a test of patience. Need to get that through my head.
