This was a tricky one as I have seen these pop up over VWAP sooo many times. Hence I was so careful. Way too careful.
I should have stuck with my Entry at 297 to the short side and set a hard stop at 297.30 as I intended. Then just let it play out.
Patience, my friend.
My fear of losses has a tight grip around my neck. One of the reasons that I tend to take profits rather quickly, just to lock in some green.
Profit taking once $TSLA sold off was alright. I even got the right “feeling” on the bounce when taking off the last bit.
I know, tiny size, but you got to start somewhere. At the moment I am happy about every day without losses. Looking forward to gain confidence in some setups and eventually increase size.
One step at a time…
