Alright so this here is gonna be what I noticed over the past several weeks about my trading. First off I've been winning more which is great!!! I even found some patterns that work consistently for me. At first I was doing great having 10, 20, 30% winners. The challenge I am facing now is wanting things too badly and trying to rush the process. Last week I turned 3 10-20 % winners into losers by wanting more and not taking profits. Now yesterday I dud the sane exact thing with 3 stocks that were 10%+ winners and I didn't take profits and again turned them into losers. I need to find a way to force my trades to be no more than a 3% loss and also a way to force myself to take profits. A trail stop would be a great way to force profits if I set it at a 3% trail once it hits my 10% goal. As for if I'm wrong I need to figure exactly what would be a 3% loss and set a stop at that no matter what and only change it to a 3% trail stop if I'm right and it hits 10%. I can personally say mentally will not cut it for me because I'm to stubborn and I want this super badly. In a few months or years I can retry mental stops/ taking mental profits but as of right now I can't make that happen.
