I'm typically more profitable if I do not even look at the chart, like at all, after making my buy. Not sure that's good either.
I guess that's more of an assumption to me or have you really observe it on your end? Not looking into a chart is like waiting for a miracle, I suppose, just because you haven't look at it doesn't mean you're profitable when you see it again. Plan your trades, trade your plans. There's nothing better than those who have a plan especially to cut losses sometimes, there's still the next day you could plan for it.
I think this is a fear of loss! It's like when you need to jump, and it's better to close your eyes and just jump, if you take a look and start thinking about that jump fear will eat you, and you will probably quit!
People should trade, and gamble, with amounts they feel comfortable with! You need to take a look, make a decision and do what you need to do! If there's more money in that you can handle, you risk more, pressure is higher...
More practice equal more experience, and that will make your hands stronger!
