I am only able to day trade one day a week, so I am finding it hard to stick to my plan and my rules sometimes. Something I've been struggling with is patience. I am also very worried about my win percentage, even though I know I shouldn't be. Take this ridiculous trade below for instance. So I dip bought this stock and immediately had unrealized profits. Then I got one red candle and started watching my profits go away. I cut the trade on that red candle because I wanted to have a winning trade and completely forgot about my vow to be more patient. After my sell order was filled I sat there and watched the stock spike to the $2.70s without me. It would have been one of the best day trades I've had. Instead, I'm left to fix these problems. I know my conviction in a lot of the trades I enter has taken a hit since the market shifted. I am also a newbie so I haven't traded in different market environments. I do know that no matter what the state of the market is I need to stick to my rules and my plan. Going forward I will fix this. I am going to print this chart out and write "Stick to your plan and Be Patient!" and hang it on my bathroom mirror so it gets burned into my brain. Here's to better trading. Always be learning! Cheers fellow traders! Thanks for reading.
