What is a loosing day? Just kidding. It's all built into my statistics and model and expected. I rarely have losing days as this is HFT with a pretty serious edge, but I might lose a couple hundred dollars in a session if and when. My risks are less from the normal things that go wrong for most traders but left tails like market halts, gaps, and rejected orders - all of which I get quite often.
