Yes, I know. Before any of you say it I will say it. I shouldn't be using Robinhood. Which is why I'm transferring all the money from Robinhood back to my Fidelity account. Lately I have been overtrading and have gotten into the habit of basically scalping a lot of trades. This has caused me to take random trades, too many trades, and just plain bad trades. Nobody likes paying commissions but in the end it's worth it for the service you receive. The executions are better with a full service broker, the charting is better, and the customer service is better...among other things.
Had a bit of a rough day today due to me being stubborn and overtrading. Made 4 trades and lost on every single one of them. Lost more than I wanted to but that's my own fault. I'm currently watching How to Make Millions again to help me refocus. I'm going to take the rest of the week off from trading and come back next week refreshed and re-educated. Gotta trade with the right mindset otherwise you're bound to fail. There is no losing trade, either you make money or you gain knowledge.
