Although,it landed into the positives that month,March was sweet for an intraday trader,but harrowing to the Flow Trader........remove that first trade and it's a breakeven month.
Too many gaps up and down can force mistakes big time.....importantly,does one have the stomach and the ability to stick to the Plan despite all the "bad" news around,all the yeehahs of the intraday traders,the strong urge to take profits off the table on a gap up,the strong desire to quit trading till markets turn bullish again,the fear of a huge gap down........
Months like these are when you pat yourself on your shoulders,not because you made profits,but that you stuck to your Plan despite it all.......

Accordingly Saint, if we continue to trade with discipline over period we build a cushion to land on in troubles and that can help in sustaining the sometimes 'ugly' gaps!!!!
And the best line above is no doubt ;
Months like these are when you pat yourself on your shoulders,not because you made profits,but that you stuck to your Plan despite it all.......
Thanks again ,
