$STUDY: in counter-trend trading, don't push. Take what I get.
It's pretty arrogant to think that a strong market will suddenly fall apart. Take what I get.
Psychology: I was feeling super-confident and doing some behaviors that I recognize as over-confidence. Ex: reading too many trading posts, watching too many trading videos, something I call "counting my money". For some reason I've noticed that when I do these slightly "obsessive" behaviors usually in context of a win streak, it's an over-confidence indicator about myself and I'm about to fall on my face. I even said to myself this morning "this is how I act when I usually break the streak." But I didn't do enough to stop myself.
Opening trade on GME, I let 30% turn into 9% bc greed.
Second trade on GME, counter-trend, I didn't take a reduced stop bc the p/l wasn't good enough = greed.
AMD, traded around that one all morning (on nms?!!), hoping for destruction that didn't come (of course!). Got a price target but not a p/l target on partial, then didn't tighten down when I got another chance.
Note to self: I can't just trade whatever I want. I need to trade MY setups. That's how I make MY money. Clockwork.
