I'm actually pretty embarassed to post these charts. This was one of the strongest down trends I've ever seen, and I had the balls to take 3 longs...
I have a serious problem: On big trending markets I always feel like it's about to end. I will watch 20 perfect short setups go by, and will do one of the following:
- Jump in on the 21st short and it will be a loser
or
- Try to go long, and it will be a loser, because it's a down market, dummy.
I think a lot of it has to do with fear. I need to be less fearful so I can take some of those first 20 trades to get in before the trend ends.
Also, I completely screwed myself on just about all of my winning trades.. I didn't hold any of them, and even did some BS "reduce my risk" thing where I take out my first contract at 0 or +1. This could've been a profitable day.
All well, you live and learn. Only down on commissions today. My friends killed today though.
