What's killing me in this game the most! My top 3 reasons for being in the red.

 

1-Take the damn profits!!!!  I haven't gone through my losing trades yet but, if I had to guess I would say 60%+ of my losing trades could have been winning gains if I would of just took what I got when the stock told me to get out instead of being greedy!

 

2-Holding and hoping is not a strategy!!!  This is part of #1 but I need to put it on the list because it's part of the reason I'm failing at #1.  I'm hoping for more and before I know it that 10-20% profit is gone.  Then I hold waiting for another bounce that sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't.  It's my worst habit that I need to stop.

 

3-Cut losses quick!!!  I haven't been horrible at this rule but i have taken some decent size losses that would not have been as bad had I 1-taken the profit 2-not hoped for more profit or a bounce.
