Ok if you are reading this I'll keep it short and simple. If you view my info you can see I'm down 5,246. I had two great trades this week. making $670 between the two. What you don't see is that my $AMDA trade would have been $780 all by itself if I had thought to get up early enough for pre-market.
1. lesson learned get up and check that damn pre-market when you hold over night.
2. (this has been the hardest lesson of all for me) don't get greedy. I turned $130 profit into $150 loss
3. you don't need to be in a trade all the time IDIOT!!! I have a couple of good trades and I'm overcome with a feeling of finding the next one right then.
4. Don't trade if you are out of day trades!! I know this is super basic but I've done it and pretty much screwed myself every time.
5. FOMO!!!! What a muthafucka FOMO is. This has pretty much gotten out of my system after about 4 months of getting my ass kicked by it.
6. Setting goals for each week meeting them and then enjoying in it instead of being a ding dong and giving your profits back forcing bad trades.
I'll leave you with this. IDK who said it but, I read it on hear. "No one ever blew up their account taking profits". I think I may have a poster with that written on it hung in the rooms I spend the most time in like the bathroom haha. Maybe I can have a shock collar rigged up to zap me to take profits and get out with a win no matter how small.
