Red.

I was going to say that I played BEAV, MVIS and PEIX today but the more accurate assessment would be that they played me. And I could bet that it must have been bloody hilarious from their perspective. Still can't shake it off.

The lack of the proper tools got me again. 
Everything, and I mean EVERY-DAMN-THING on my watchlist was red. Stocks were falling out of formations,breaking weeks and month long trends, rendering my bullish oriented watchlist useless. 

Have I had an ability to short, this would have probably been one of the best days ever. Instead, I used a paddle to go against the Niagara falls... "Where's he goin'? - no where!" - pretty much. 

It is really interesting actually. In the grand scheme of things, and from numbers perspective alone - this wasn't even that bad of a day. I mean, it wasn't good, but it wasn't terrible. The red that I experienced was kept in check by predetermined evacuation targets, so the loss was really relatively minimal. What gets me is the fact that the market made me work for it, and work for it hard, lead me to believe that Im out of the dodge, only to suck me back in red when I expected to continue staying afloat and in green. In short, led me on, and on, and on and left me with blue balls. Nobody ever appreciates that.

I know, I should stop whining. I am fully aware that if this remains my worst day ever, I will likely be the luckiest trader that ever lived. And I know - its my own damn fault when it comes to brokers issue. Im just having a hard time accepting that Im going to have to sit out of the market for a few days while all the funds/account transfer/merging takes place...  

Tomorrow's a new day. 

Reset.
