hi
February is finished, and so it the winning track record.
What an idiot move of me, getting to stop on the last day, with the last set of transactions of the month!
Before the day of 28th, the month was comfy up.
Then came GJ.
Entries started after it already passed the ADR, and did a few trading around when it started to collapse.
Help tight as it chose to test 147.
Lighten up on the rebound, and wasn't far from a BE.
Then it chose to get another down leg, and me decided to give up, getting tired, pulling basically an all nighter in my side, so, together with the final our of this trading day ( and being 4am past here) I let it go.
in retrospect it was a good and bad idea. It did head lower, and the entire SL would be struck, so, saved a few on that. It was a few points provided a milder loss (close BE month) that I might take.
In retrospect everything looks different though. I dont regret what've happened. The 10% SL wasn't passed, though was shut.
Trading has its own highs and lows, and now I feel down little, but that is temporary.
Likely avoid trading 1-2 days, to ensure I dont have the inclination to revenge trade, or attempt to do something other out of usual move. We people. Must need to tackle and deal with these difficulties.
One can only trade as long as one has funds, and for today, most of the capital is preserved. It's a dent, but nothing what has not happened before.
So, was speaking about February...
this month is a loss, down -6.34 percent on master.
Down on the prop accounts also, various degree, but in a corresponding manner ( less % loss).
Because during my holiday I took a few transactions in my 2x risk personal account, it is up, but not enogh to cover all the loss, though cancel out a chunk;
overall February is a down month. period.

so, what is next?
After getting back to my 'healthy' trading mood, it is recovery.
But recovery only in a feeling that trading as ordinary, only more careful.
Must admit, having couple weeks with no losing day makes me somewhat careless. Suspect I am not the sole falling to that, and several lose heavier following a winning period.
So, goal is recovery, and the timeline is mid-April.
That needs to be sufficient time to cope with it.
On a side note, the system #2 EA is doing good, and with the current bug fixing and fine tuning the bells and whistles I feel it is about to prove itself.
Interestingly it exchanged GJ ( along another 2-3 pairs) yesterday, and got out without a scratch.
