Hello PT-
good to see your post here. Every few days I look for your post here. I had strong notion that on you held three of the big big gainers of Friday. How many positions do you have these days?
I have been trying to mimic your discipline but no success yet. Still find trouble of over trading. Review of last years trading showed 21 trades- 18 of those were wrong trades, result of one or other kind of fear. My biggest mistakes were adding to positions on big bullish bars. Now I hope not to repeat that. still last year was good for me, mainly powered by one biotechnology stock. Past 8 weeks have provided better paper gains than net of last year and I have not added to any of my positions. I bought two on December 26th, two on Jan 4th and two on Jan 9th. It has been very hard not to switch from one to another- my hands tremble, blood pressure goes up to 175, heart pounds at attempt to not break the rules of holding till sell signals trigger. Full panic attack- have to exercise hard to recover. I feel tempted to exit market, have enough gains for the year, thoughts come to mind- and wait for next buy signal. So far so good. It seems that I am not suited for our methodology- but have given this method so many years; i don't feel like looking for other methods or rules.
Best Regards.
