Should I not drink coffee the morning prior to making my first trade? I'd rather not go through that state of anxiety attack as the ES tick tocked futher away from position until it made me scream UNCLE and I put in the market order to get out. "I'm OUT out, right? Double, triple, quadruple check -- yep I'm out."
Maybe some tea in the morning ... or something stronger -- caffeine just gets me hyper. I don't smoke anymore so that's out of the question (cigerettes) ... perhaps ... hmmm ... maybe a beer or two will settle my nerves.
I'm just babbling, but amazed at how I said emotions wouldn't bother me and then they were all over me. Each tick further away from my position, I felt this knot getting tighter in my stomach.
That's what happens when you do your first futures trade.
To all future newbie future traders -- It is truely an experience you will never forget. Probably ranks up there with the time I first had sex -- at least the anxiety was there -- You know, performance concerns.
Sorry, just babbling ...
