Money You've lost and Made in One Day?

think 90,000 is the biggest hit ive taken in a day, swing trade gone wrong!

biggest day trade gain then loss was 40,000
 
Done +10k - taken profit and then gone for reversal and lost the £10k all within a day. Also had a £17k position within 10 pips of being 0 before returning to £20k - that was within 2 hrs I believe.
 
wasn't trading as such, but worst 'result" was backing a 33 to 1 winner only to lose the winnings by doubling up on a "sure thing" - backing the odds-on university boat race team that sank :-(

worst of all, I would probably have been riding the 33 to 1 winner if I hadn't broken a toe a week earlier on the gallops
 
+2900 Long eurusd in March '09,

-4400 short ES on a bad trade where I doubled up on a short, got distracted by a phone call and completely forgot about the trade. OUCH.

Lost $4,000 in an hour trying to catch a falling knife when I bought Facebook shares as they dropped on their Opening Day. Haven't traded them since and was glad I had a tight stop.
 
I'd cry if I lost some of the amounts you lot have. The most I've lost in 1 day is just under £200 and I was gutted, I'm an incredibly tight git when it comes to money. The most I've gained in 1 day is also about £200.
