Net PnL: -$2455.
Just a slipup of discipline. Would call this a mini blowup, but really felt it because I was so confident that I had "made it". Am still confident that I have crossed the bridge to being a CPT though, just need to ensure discipline is maintained.
Essentially what happened is that I oversized my DCIX long accidentally (didn't quite account for the range, and required stop). I realised this and (eventually reduced). It was a real test of discipline to reduce like I should (kept hoping that the trade would work out). This was a perfect time to take a break.
I then put the size back on, as if I was recycling it, and it crashed on me. Eventually took the stop, but took way longer than it should (combined with the increased size).
Other minor mistake was having a position across all shippers, and as a result got stopped on them all.
