Main Account: -$1000. Hit max drawdown for the day. Quite an interesting day from a learning perspective. Started the day down $400 on TSN and grinded back really nicely, was some really nice trades on DATA, LNKD and HBI which brought it back to float over/under breakeven. After that had the wrong sort of bias on some stock (FB/NFLX/NEM/SBGL) but still was trading okay, but drew-down a bit as a result. The tilt didn't really come until I was down roughly $500... And then it came cleanly and I lost the extra $500 in about 20 minutes.
The tilt was obviously caused by somewhat of a sense of desperation to bring the day back, and by the amount I was down. The result of the tilt, was the usual suspects I have - chasing price and going max size straight away.
