Edit: It's the next day after I posted this, and it was a much better day of trading. Don't go tilt!!! Save your money for when the market is more favorable. There WILL be more opportunities in the future! Frustrating loss today had/has me feeling tilted. I'm hopeful that fighting for self-control, and moving past days like today without taking excessive losses will help me to get where I need to be as far as my mental game and skills are concerned. See definition below, and see if you can relate. The slang term "tilt" means to become angry or frustrated, or to be in a state of mental or emotional distress. It can also refer to losing control due to negative emotions and behaving erratically.
