A good day. Sold NVDA as planned and XTEX slightly lower than planned (1000 shares would have been great on XTEX, but I was too picky on the buy).
But it is crazy what goes on in my head. I made ~$300 on NVDA. That is an incredible return. But I missed the continued rise and as I watched it continue to go up, I started playing these mental games. Thinking about how much I could have made: even missing the high, I could of easily doubled the return.
This is one of my weaknesses. Seeing the missed opportunities and big dollars, and then breaking out of the rules. Sometimes breaking out is the thing to do, no doubt about it. But these opportunities should be seen for what they are - exceptions and rare by definition. I plan on giving this strategy a shot for 3 months and seeing what happens. I imagine that 3 months will not signal the end of the battle against myself, but it will give me a track record and may offer additional perspective. Reading other trader blogs, I am fairly certain that even if I am successful with this venture, the head games will be a constant challenge. I consider recognizing this a huge step forward.
