What are some examples of when emotions mess up your trades?
During the pre-bull run in 2017, i had some quantity of Ethereum which i kept for over the prevision years; hope to trade when the market appreciate. In 2017 when i saw the market positive movement; haven seen the movement before on a swinging pendulum, i placed my trade at the price of $812 in Dec. 20-2017 and after some few months away the price hit $1,377, this was my emotional mess.
Lol, I sold mine when the price goes to $400 and then keep some, months later I dumped another set in December 2017 around $800 I think. If I just hold on it for a month (2018) I could have sold them in it's all time high. Anyways, now I just accumulated at lowers lows and hope one day that the price could go on another 4 digits or more. Really hard though, if we involved our emotions here.
