I got an experienced last week and I still feel bad about my lose. On Monday I make around $300 by hedge when I see negative news about bitcoin and I thought that the strategy work only to find out that in a second thing began to change and I lost all the gain I have made when almost all the indicators were showing that price is going downward. I see that over confidence actually makes us lose money and as such setting stop lose will help in cutting ours loses not to run too far.
Haaha, sorry mate, there is actually need to have confidence, because if you don’t have confidence, fear would set in, and when fear sets in, it is not only profit that you will find yourself loosing, but you will also loose the capital to panic sell, confidence is good to build but we just have to make sure that we balance it, as in not to be too over confidence.
Sometimes, it is also best that we act based on our own skill and what we have been using, I guess you decided to follow the rule of holding when people are saying bad stuff and sell when people are saying good stuff, it was just someone that came up with that strategy, but that does not mean that it work for everyone, just have to believe in yourself, trade with your free mind and trade based on the level of knowledge that you have acquired.
