Worst day of the year

Well, I had another worst day of the year. That makes two for August. Ouch.
It is a miracle that I am only down commission for the month. That means if you took the other side of my trades you would be down even more. Commissions this month have been a bitch because I have been overtrading like mad. I really have to do something about it.
I broke all my rules. It’s embarrassing to post how weak I am at following my own rules. It is pretty pathetic. I recognize it as pathetic. I would like everyone to know that I am pathetic at following my trading rules.
I just have to put this day behind me. Is trading just an endless process of breaking your own rules and then sticking to them for a while and then breaking them again? I hope not. I’d like to progress so that these breakages become fewer and further between.
