If you pay attention to my chart history, you kinda get the idea of how safely i trade. I never had such big loss except the very beginning. I took a day off work after that night (market open at 930pm here). Very frustrated and emotionally drained. Couldn't stop thinking about getting some of the loss back, so i stayed up til the market close. I won't spend time sharing my actual trade bc it doesn't tell the story. But what happened was with $evax I got cocky and oversized, is what it was. Didn't measure my risk properly, I added 500 shares @18.28 when it was downhalting. Funny thing is i had moment like this before in october with dwac. I got away with it. This time i didn't. I literally had a plan in mind before market open if evax gonna come to this pre-market support. I'll try to dip buy it. Things got out of hand real quick when I didn't play accordingly. Me having 68% win rate last month made me cocky in a way that i didn't even notice. Like 500 shares? @18.28 that's not my usual size. I wouldn't even do that on my a plus setup on otc. Then i revenged traded it with fatbb. Unfortunately i got caught into another halt. I completely lost control over my emotion. Initally a 2.6k loss i turned it into -4K. I lost track of making 2 to 300 a day with good trade, is enough for me. I got greedy is what it is. And i was 400$ away from 20k profit. Moment like this really make people quit. Main take away is: one trade really could wipe you out. So make sure that no trade matter.
@Gambler6 Perspective do matter. Seeing this loss is nothing but a mistake, opportunity to learn from reallly help me recover emotionally. I also prefer that i made the mistake early on so that in the future I could prevent that
