One of those days:

My big trade of day...goes badly wrong, claw back about 20% of my BIG trading stake Cry

My Poker....first hand HU on a little bit tilty stake level bigger buy-in than advisable, dealt 68, cards come A6687 lovely.....my single opponent is holding A6 of course. FIRST hand stacked!

Find a horse trading 20's I quite like for a decent sized bet, and put in a nice trading lay in running at 1.8 to make it all green in case of near miss...it finishes second and traded all way down to 2.2 from 20's, none of mine matched....

Horrible workday booked in for tomorrow....nice to look forward to after todays day 'enjoying' the markets....Aggggh! Angry

No (lucky with my form) not full time, have paid employ too. Not that that is any consolation either, just means I have the thought of a bad day at work tomorrow to look forward too. Sad

Yep, the last trade really got me most - I played around with setting the lay up at 2.5 too Cry

I'm just ranting in order to avoid looking at any other markets right at the moment...need some soothing music I think.... Love

An interesting betting 'superstition' issue though, I often find that when you hit those 'unlucky' losses they get followed by another couple!

Indeed! ^^^

I find a short break necessary after a day like today. Tilt hangs around like a bad smell for a while, but dissipates eventually!
