Tell me some of your bad habits

I am impatient and easily grow frustrated when suffer losses. What about you?

 

My bad habits include buying high and selling low, buying low and selling even lower. That does happen sometimes lol.

 

Three years ago I waited until about 5500 miles to change the oil in my car.

 

I once started dozens of threads and ignored all the answers to every question posted.

 

I have to let my dirty dishes 'soak'.

 

The same thing every trader deals with.

Fear of loss and Fear of losing acquired profits.

Greed is easy to overcome, but Fear is an
atrociously ruthless beast.

 

Being a little tardy about exiting a trade that's moved against me.

 

I am the opposite. I am impatient in taking profit when being profitable instead of letting profits run. So instead of suffering losses, I lose lot more in potential profit.

 

I agree man but greed has lost me more money than fear. those are definitely the the two killers though.

 

My current most detrimental habits that I am working on:
- Getting shaken out of good hands by aggressive movement against me. Both upon entering as well as when holding a winner. Basically getting out early before my exit signal because of momentum.
- Overtrading on weak signals. I should be taking 2-3 trades per day, 5 MAX and my average last week was closer to 7.
