Intraday
SPY continued to drop premarket slowly grinding down. Sell off right in the morning bell and then a reversal about 30 minutes after opening.
Why did you take the trade?
I wanted to catch the wave on the slide of the morning market sell-off.
How did the trade go?
Profits presented themselves to me quickly and I did not scalp the profits as I should have. I got into scarcity mode with the PDT rule and wanted to become greedy and not take the $400 plus in profits. Instead, my greed got the best of me and I took a 2.1k loss.
What is crazy is that I didn't want to use my day trade and I got what I wanted because I bought it back in stock the next day. So being greedy, and scarcity thinking helps me lose even more money. I should have cut it the following day. knowing that a $300 loss is better than a $600 loss. A $600 loss is better than a -$1200 loss and a -$1200 loss is better than a $2000 loss!
What can you do better in the future?
Take profits immeditally
Cut losses quickly
Not have scarcity thinking
Better entry
What did you do great?
Cut losses at 2k when I knew naturally I would have held this thing for a few days until it went down but I know that this stock has the potential to rally.
Grade: F
Why that grade?
Didn't take profits when they presented themselves
Got greedy
Cut losses to late
