What are your trading habits?

Once in a while I dabble in discretionary trading with small capital.

My main weakness with that style of trading is wondering whether an edge is eroding away. Also wondering if I started off with a lucky streak with an imagined edge.

That's why my mainstay trading style is purely systems based with tons of backtesting.

Profits run;
not so much on inverse or downtrends.
Mostly ETFs , sold some hi grade cash copper .......................................................
 
My favorite...

1. Market approaching big support/resistance where I'm supposed to buy/short.

2. Makes me nervous, so I go take a dump

3. By the time I get back, the market has turned and I missed it.

4. "Relief" on both ends. :)
 
My trading habits are buying low and selling high, but also buying high and selling even higher

Good ;
occasional short term trades\
investment$. Sell below 50dma, occasional buys below 50dma. Sell, sometimes some hi grade cash copper.
Buy insurance , prepay 6 months, seldom 12 month prepay; state cut sales taxon food for 3 months so buy more than usual:D:D..............................................................
 
I average down and take on huge losses for large amounts of time.
I put 100% of my portfolio in one stock.
I never use stops or if I do I never obey them.
I impulse trade.
I revenge trade.
I over trade.
I over size.
Good Morning wxytrader,

I do all these things you say are bad, and still make money trading.

Trade however you feel like trading, do not let the internet and books lie to you.
