For me trading is very tricky and whenever i trade market seems to go against me but with bull market around and having day job i prefer to just buy and hold so maybe after 6 months i will re evaluate the situation and will decide whether to take profit or not.
Good decision and that trick that happened to you also happens to everyone. It is why if you think that it's not good for you to trade and still wanting to be in the market.
We have another option and that is just to be an investor, hold and sell if its the right time. There's no need to study about charts or any sort of analysis.
