Thing is, I’ve always been very careful with money, but when a trade goes into drawdown I feel like I am throwing good money after bad and it goes against my rationale / brain profile re money.

I’ve done shares trading (Long only for days / weeks) since early 80’s, but when I go to a lot of effort trading via PRT Platform either manually or via a coded System and it goes to a big drawdown it knocks my psyche and I have thought a few times … why am I bothering!?

I know why though! I have never given up on anything in my life, but the goal posts seem to change so often with intraday trading?

The massive change since volatility of early Feb makes loads of (previously good) Systems not good anymore without rework?
