@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)
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.
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.
