Looking at the EMA at the pre-market. Consistent higher highs and higher lows before the open. Main mistake was taking the bait right at the open. Stock consolidated dipped down below previous low making a lower low. Did not wait for the right pattern. Stupid buy order at a bear EMA 5,13 crossover. Able to take some back before the breakout but still down for the day! Note to self: wait for a freaking patter before you get too excited. Stupid!

I made the same exact mistake on roku and crsp today ... good to know im not the only one who does that ;)
I think it’s an emotion thing y’all. No baseline on taking a trade and it’s all “let’s hope this goes my way” kind of thinking. Brain just freezes and fingers starts clicking recklessly lol
