I got LULU twice, on the way up and all the way down. Problem was first was a short and second a long, and maybe there was a third. I did this yesterday too, overtraded and it beat me up because I wasn't playing by the markets rules, and my strategy.

Kunal pulled me from paper trading for several weeks as i kept getting into terrible setups that I rationalized but weren't even there. By not trading I swear each setup I would have Entered at least 5 times before the real setup.
Thanks for the comments, they do mean a lot and will take your advice. I did it again today and really got stung.

I think the hardest part about trading is telling yourself not to trade, so you won't make the mistake of overtrading. We all go through it; just have to find a way to stop it. That why you catch Kunal leaving to go to the beach from time to time so he won't overtrade.
