Now by design I haven’t been trading a lot this week, but honestly, you’d think I was attempting it for the first time. I’m not chasing or losing money hand over fist, I’m just getting absolutely nowhere. Make a tick, give it back. Make a tick, give it back…

Hopefully this is a seven-day phenomenon.

It's all very normal, we've all been there

What happens with taking a big loss is your system basically gets flooded with a stress hormone called cortisol so the brain will temporarily be in survival mode just trying "not to lose" instead of trying to win

Maybe halve your stakes or something until you rebuild confidence again and the foggy decision making clears up, but do try to gain some value from what was effectively a lesson in complacency
