Failure to use a trailing stop. Never used them, I was always at my desk. The Monday after Thanksgiving 98 I had to take someone to catch a ride. I underestimated how far out it was and missed the first 90 minutes of market. I was in MALL. I think it went up 2 pts then plummeted 20 by the time I got home. (remember those days?) My unrealized 38K profit melted down to $750.00. Would have been my first big hit.
I was long a stock and had to leave my computer for a while so I wanted to enter a protective stop loss with sufficient distance to the current price, but by mistake selected LMT as the order type. That order was filled instantly by a happy guy on the other side...
Let me add another one, having wrong impression on close time, usually due to stress or some other reasons. Think the market should close. But there is still another hour to go. Then cut loss or give up gains in vain. Miss the big move in the last hour.
Me too. Chasing any market, at any time. Still do it at times, and I've been trading a looong time. Jay
