What is the psychology of "selling at the bottom" for a loss

    it's just the result of you not exiting when you know you should have, then waiting, holding, hoping, praying, panicking, crying, and capitulating. nothing more.

    I mean i already know that "coulda shoulda woulda" exited earlier.
    What im asking is how me and bunch of other noobs manage to exit precisely before reversal
    Because after analyzing my trades i am very good at selling at exact bottom
    Im also good at selling at the tops but thats rare rhat i actually get in the proper trade to be able to sell at the top

  4. what i'm saying is - you already know the answer... it's somewhere within your method/etc. you're just avoiding facing it and instead asking for random people who care way less about your trading than you do to give you some way of avoiding facing the truth you already know.

    If the YouTube Gurus espouse using a stop ... they got one thing right.

    You not wanting to hear this is a problem and until you fix this problem (see Einstein's insanity) you will continue to sell bottoms / buy tops.

    How would you even figure this out?
    Anyone deal with self sabotage in trading.
    how do you fix something that is hiding from you?
    I mean it could be self sabotage i thought about it but i see no apparent reason for it to exist especially in relation to my trading
