HOW TO FUCK UP A TRADE:
Some people like to think they're really smart. Not me, I know I'm a fucking retard (don't worry, as a retard I don't take offense to that word).
All started last Saturday of all days. Went short Friday after CME close thinking there might be a big gap down. Sure enough by time I wake up Saturday morning the market has made a nice move down to start the weekend. From past experience, when a move starts on Friday, it will keep going until Sunday. Up to this point Im thinking 60k is in the cards. The TLs below, the weak structure on way up...everything I talked about it previous posts led me to believe that.
But then the market started going sideways all day Saturday and by Sunday I was starting to think this gap might be quickly filled since it stalled over weekend. I started thinking "this can't be that easy" and started to over-think the whole thing. How many times i have to learn that yes, it can be that easy.
There was a decent looking bottom formation on weekend and like a dumbass didn't want to miss the boat so went long shortly after CME open. Went downhill quickly, but didn't take the hint and instead started blinding myself with theories and the reading too much into strong looking buy orders.
The TLs below I've talked constantly about? Put that chart off to the side and disregard it. Why? Because I'm retarded of course!
Had plenty of opportunities to get out at b/e, but no, stayed in the trade and started making excuses why the correction looked like a correction but really wasn't. Why? Well you know why
So ended up sitting on this trade all week and finally getting stopped out today. Then of course I still hadn't processed what I was doing wrong and gave a long another chance. Another stopped out trade.
Been reviewing this whole fuckup ever since and just disgusted with myself. Ayyyyyeeee....

Traders should be happy, long-time owners looking for new highs, not so much, but will continue telling you to BUY.
or is it bye to your money?

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

Went long back in Apr 15, got stopped along the way for minimal gains, tried once more (long) May 1, got stopped again. Chump change on that too so no harm, I'll take it, but now sitting on my hands. Thsi is just one security in play so need to play this one when there's nothing seemingly there.
