I have been sitting for hours trying to cover a over sell. I sold 300 when i wanted to sell 30:eek: . I have watched my pl go from up 5k to down 16600. I am flat and took out over 3k but this is better than some of the nascrack stocks.
 
Quote from Buy1Sell2:

long 1395.00

Initial stop 1387.00

unit size 2



Why not take 1/2 off at 10 points profit right here. Will you risk letting this 10 point winning trade turn back into a loss like all of the others ? Not sure what your goal is with these trades ?
 
Quote from NakedNote:

Risk 4 to make 3 ?

I urge to reconsider.

Not what I wanted, but I chickened out when it started to hesitate going into some long candles against it.

It's a very frustrating issue with me. If you've ever had to overcome such an annoying aspect of psychology, please elaborate as to how you did it.

Can you imagine how I felt when I saw what it went on to do and how sweet that entry was? I now have to erase the negative emotion and try again.

Enter only in critical areas of support of resistance, that way your stop can be relatively small while protected by price action and shoot for positive risk reward expectancy, without this, you really have no insurance in daytrading.
