    @Jdesey I like your attitude :)

    The first rule in my written plan is:
    "When you are sleepy, bored, frustrated, ecstatic, depressed or scared, do not open any new positions"

    (closing positions is mostly automatic)

    Translating DOM trading into chart trading without any indicator including volume profile.

  4. I bought a coin when it was at a 200% value increase, 12 hours later it went up 1300% :sneaky:

  5. Started letting my profits run some more, cutting my losses earlier and just taking it on the chin.

  6. Good Morning Jdesey,

    Very good question.

    I have not done nothing smart in trading yet, because my broker account is still less than $1 million.

    I can only respond when I make $1 million in trading, then the smartest thing I done in trading was make $1million.

    Until then, I am still working.

  7. Oh I would say not losing all my savings in trading. And paper trading for years was pretty smart idea.

    Losing over $20K in trading is dumb.

    The smartest thing was basically rewarding myself with something tangible that's meaningful from my first trading profit, so that it's ingrained in my head what trading is all about.
