Day Trading Journal - Day 1441 : Emotional Shifting

28 July 2021 - Tuesday

After experienced trading with uneasy feeling since yesterday, eventually made me realized how to trade with less emotion attached. 

PBTS Buy $1.51 + $1.51 - Sell $1.34: There was a good profit should be taken. Is about 6% of my current account size but no taken because HOPE for more. At the end slapped on own face of giving 8% back. (May should stick to 5% rule for small account)

DYAI Buy $5 - Sell $5.34: Weird thing that always happened to me is whenever I enter a trade, it always comes with a instant fall. Had been monitoring this ticker for a few minute before enter, once saw it was coming, hit the buy button and next thing you know was instant red candle. What the hell... This nightmare had been haunted me for many years already. 

DYAI Buy $4.16 - Sell $4.06, Buy $4.15 - Sell $4.06, Buy $4.09 - Sell $4: Later the day, still with this ticker, looking for a quick short squeeze that never come. 3 red streaks consecutive losing trades. Back side of the move was really tough for long.

2nd day trade without much feeling attached. Enter a trade and wait for the move, waiting for the signal to get out but case like PBTS was a failure example. Overly patience will hurt the account too. 

However, short sell is still much higher winning rate than long. As always short sell much more comfortable to hold for whole day by just looking at it tanked lower and lower non-stop.

Total funds left: $366.03 ~ Down 10.9% ($42.29)
