I really realized my mistake through your article. I seem to have let my emotions control my portfolio. I was greedy and did not place a sell order at the target I wanted, I also did not place a stop loss to avoid risk.
thank you, seems like i will become a professional investor after reading your article.
Do not be too hard on yourself mate lol, those mistakes are what will eventually make you to be a good trader, when it comes to greed, it really takes time and determination to fight it off, I have read so many articles on greed in trading a lot of times and sometimes, I still get caught up in it a little, some greedy actions of mine has actually helped me while some failed me totally but I don’t want to keep gambling with my emotions.
So right now, I go into trading, use my analysis to place my order and sell it immediately my analysis tells me to do so no matter how little the profit is and I have learnt to quickly take my eyes of it so that I don’t end up regretting my action when I eventually see how much I would have gained if I had not taken that step of selling it.
