Kerry. I also feel the same emotions over the losses from SXY but trying to make up for it via this trading "scheme" will lead to bigger losses.
I heard this saying that when you are straving, you will make any desperate choice to eat anything, regardless how bad the food is for you. When you are desperate for money, you can make any irrational choice to chase money. SXY is playing on our emotions and we can eager to "make up lost ground".
Sorry that I do not have a solution for you. If I did, I would have bragged about it now.
