Default Re: Help! Dealing with that painful Downswing

Try to look at your overall results - you're still up a lot for the year. Imagine, instead of winning 44K and then losing $6500, you had "only" won 25K, and then last week won $12,500. You'd have the same exact bankroll - but it's amazing how a downswing can change your perception of it.

My point is that you should keep an eye on your overall results, not just your recent hot or cold streak.

Downswings like this are another reason a "real" job with steady income is a pretty good thing to have - especially at NYC prices!
