SPY: O - 109.04 / H - 110.31 / L - 108.15 / C -108.23 / TA - overbought, turning over
For the first 3 weeks of Oct., my trades have been about even. My gain was actually slightly more. Today, I was up $100 until the last 40 minutes when s&p is tanking to the floor. I attempted in reverse scalping FAS and suffered nearly 2k loss. I had a chance to break even on the trade at the first rebound, but emotion took over and I didn't exit completely, and continued the strategy.
What may I learn from this experience?
-Did not have a clue on the Distance and Duration of the move.
-Near end of day, should have been more cautious.
-Stop going in blindly and against the move, instead go with the trend on confirmations of volume and direction.
-Got a bit lazy in studying lately
Positive experience I noticed:
-Break out and trend lines definitely increased the odds of a strategy. It helps to set stop loss too.
-The opportunity to take a break, and write this note.
-The very sunny and cool weather here.
-The experiences that I am having.
