Not diversified enough, too many eggs in one basket.

There you are lol.

OT:
I read a blurb the other day that China was gonna lob a missile on you kangaroo's if you stick your nose in Taiwan and get in bed with the U.S.

You best get on one of those bikes of yours and head for the desert Mick.

I TRY to have a different approach, I either want to be stopped out or exploit full profit that I set rather conservatively after having analysed the range I am going for. ... basically next area of confluence.

Master Pu says:" To each his own. The way I trade is by having predefined targets and stops. ... You let your winners run when investing, when trading I see where closest target is and then workout a stop which must be at least 1:3 of target to offset losses. "

Admit it, pulling out of a trade prematurely syndrome happens, or used to happen, to all of us. So how do you tackle the issue of your lizard brain (the one that is mostly instinct driven & non-logical) interfering with the plan? I try to just walk away, set the stop & target, turn screen off & await bad or good news.

+ also let some trends run+ run+ run. Some use song birds /turtle, or elephant or polar bear\all cant be lizzards/LOL...................................................................................
