Hi All,
What a poor day for trading. Markets were mad (through my inexperienced eyes). -94%
Anyone else had this today? I'm starting to think Tuesdays are pants.

I remember days like that when I started trading. In my case at least, it was psychological, getting complacent after doing well, frustration causing me to drop my guard and fail to apply the usual thought process, and there was an element of revenge trading, eager to open a trade to recover losses. The time of year may also be relevant. January and February are notorious for low liquidity and weak markets.

Mondays and Tuesdays are really weak at this time of year. I don't do much on them at all.
