It may be better to ask for a %'age of bankroll as opposed to $ amount. There are many here who win or lose many more times than those amounts on a single trade, and would rather not discuss those figures.

 

As for myself, in my early and much more alcoholic days I have lost about 90% of my bankroll a few times. Back then if I would lose three in row I would get pretty pissed off and just flip a coin and let my last trade run. That never once worked in my favor. In a strange way I miss those days because every time I took some time off, I modified my system and came back stronger. Never would have gotten to the point where I am without that downtime.

 

Finally, I fall into the category with most other gamblers where I can easily remember my worst losses easier than my best winners.
