    Other,

    Price moved against me because that is what happens (at times) when other people trade the same market.

    What is now more important is what i do next.

    What is also very important, is what will I do the next time I decide to trade the same market.

    Will I do the exact same thing again, or should I do something differently?

    How, or what, should change, if anything?

  2. Other: I lost because I spend my whole day every day trying to relate causes to effects and this in turn causes data-mining bias and randomness in my actions. I found this interesting: http://tinyurl.com/o3b36x7

    Nice idea, wish that it wasn't so stigmatized in Moscow.

    I've not been running my systems these last weeks as I have a large project that requires the time I would normally use in monitoring.
