I was just going over my stats and holy shit the day I increased my account 5 fold (April 22) I LOST %32.15 of it THAT day!
So for every $1000 in my account I added till it was $5000.
Then that SAME DAY (this is all the day the funds were available to trade) I lost $1607.50 for every $5000 in the account.
You can see I LOST MORE that day then I had in the account to begin with!
I knew this and posted about it at the time but still is still crazy how the jump in funds like that compromised my ability to trade correctly. Even downright terrible.
I have since then recovered 2/3rds of that back. Not all of it, but getting there.
I'm hoping to eventually be able to pull something of a tangible size amount out of the account to signal to myself I can do this vs ALWAYS adding. Then continue to try to build the account for awhile.
We'll see.
