We are all human, have emotions, will react to outside stimuli in various ways. At some point in life, you make bad decisions. And when you make bad decisions, you have to suffer the consequences. I ignored my stop losses in this last, deep market pullback. Had I stuck to respecting the stop losses, I would have lost $2,000 instead, I am looking at $4,000-$5,000 in losses now. On the plus side, it is coming from profits I have been accumulating since, January 2020. Up until July 2020, I was making monies. August 2020, I had a small loss and September 2020 was the worst because I let a small loss turn into a large loss. So, I wasted maybe, $2,000-$3,000 trading capital by losing it in the market instead, of keeping it in my pockets. Moving on, we cannot dwell on past mistakes. It is over and done with. Focus on those rules and stick to it.
