Both of you seem to miss the obvious solution: don't check your sales numbers so often. In the world of professional poker, the effects of variance are well-documented and understood. It's possible to play ideally for a day, a week, or even a month and lose money. There are several coping mechanisms to deal with this. A common one is to simply check the account balance less often, on a regular schedule. If looking at sales numbers is ruining your day, do it once per week. A day or two of bad sales could be due in part to simple variance, and by applying micro-corrections too frequently, you could be failing to see the forest for the trees.
