I picked up 5500 shares of GEN on 16 Feb when it meant my technical analysis criteria on the 30m chart. It should have been a more profitable trade but I let greed get in the way of my technical analysis. I say it was greed but sleep also came into play here.
Since I live in S. Korea the market opens at 2330 for me. Thankfully daylight savings is coming to an end! So, after a full day of work from 0630-1700 sometimes I'm too smoked to babysit a slow trade like $GEN and I let it ride. I shouldn't have done that this time because before I hit the sack on 21 Feb $GEN crossed some key technical analysis levels that would usually trigger me to sell.
Moral of the story; don't fight your lifestyle when you're trading and never let greed prevail if you meet your profit targets! You don't have to crush every trade.
I'll verify this trade when it posts. Also, I'm not sure why Profitly can't pull my previous $MBRX trade. It was a looooooooooong (6 month) trade from 2017-2018 so maybe it has issues pulling multi-year trades?
