I know I am talking to myself here, but I honestly am "disgusted" with this market. My inability to make a trade work has gotten the better of me.
Its one thing being able to control and minimize risk and drawdown but you have to make money. Its just not happening - it seems a battle for me to "not make money". I mean really ... the frustrating part is that I am following my system, doing all the proper rules for entry, stop management, etc. And the market seems to know exactly what it is I am doing just to take me out of a trade, no matter how great the entry may have been.
Its my one year anniversary of "my largest personal wealth reduction" ever incurred - and funny enough its not really affecting me in a negative way until now. I reviewed my trades over the past few weeks and I am just in awe at the fact that no real money was made. Sigh.
Rant over ... no one wants to read rants when many seem to have problems and drawdowns.
