You wouldn't believe the retarded manoeuvres I pulled off during that parabolic rise, with hefty profits being turned to a small loss, courtesy of Krakens magic dissappearing Sell quantity function, when you change from Limit order, by clicking the Market tab....thought I had made a good whack, but I had just Market Sold 0 Bitcoins.....since this was a leveraged postion to compensate for coming out the market way too early, and I feared a brutal correction at any moment, I panic sold my position......this was still in uppr $300s on the way up......
...Having flew into a rage at the fucking Kraken interface, I then decided to keep away from Bitcoin. When I came back, I bought in at $390. I sat looking at $505, remembering the absolute disgust of selling BTC earlier way too early, I decided I was going to hold. Then Bitcoin crashed down to $365, and I bought more again at $390.
So I am sitting bag holding from $390, and despite having been bullish on Bitcoin for months now (and I still am), If I were to cash out now, I will have actaully taken a loss on Bitcoin.
I am a fucking diabolical trader........anyone who remembers me as a Bear from the ATH, all the way down to the bottom, who kept shorting Bitcoin and reporting winning small, but losing big, will tell you I am a fucking awful trader of Bitcoin......
........But I am learning. Once upon a time, I would have sold at $360. I very nearly did, but the a bitter taste of past mistakes came into my mouth, and I closed the browser, and went outside and done a bit of gardening.....you may argue that Bitcoin, went to $550, so I should have sold, but this is bullshit. I wouldn't have bought in then, and I wouldn't have bought in now, as my emotional confirmation bias would have flip flopped....had I sold at $360, I would have no doubt bought back in at $390!
Wow. +1 for being honest with yourself and admitting these things. I think there are a lot of very butthurt people lurking among us who traded like you.
Next time leave your emotions in the garden
