I called my shot yesterday horribly wrong, so today, you get to be Mr Smug-pants and point out you were right....but in doing so, you are simply entering into the same mindset that I stepped into as I began to string together a run of good calls, in the face of what has proven to be some very bad advice, given out by quite frankly the majority of people on here. Now you are 'predicting' the future based on some cherry picked news facts, but mostly based on 'what happened before'. How is that any different to what I done when I started this thread?
I am stung, and I am not playing anymore for now.
As I say, I'm right _today_, and I acknowledge the fact that I may be wrong tomorrow. I'm not trying to win a pissing contest and I don't feel smug.
My opinions are just my opinions, I don't offer them up as fact like most of the asshats on here. It seems to me you are more clued up than most, as you've already analyzed and admitted a bit emotionally hit from the loss. That being said I think you need to think about why you are trading in the first place, you've made £5k so far, that's profit. A small loss on the way up is to be expected, success isn't a straight line it's up, down left and right. The trick is to make more than you lose. You got spooked a bit yesterday and are all doom and gloom because you made a mistake. Had you timed your sell better you would most likely be here today telling us why it's a great time to be trading.
Also, it's a shame because there have been 5-6 instances today when you could have made those losses back and then some if only you didn't spook yourself and get overly negative about a little bump in the road.
