Newish to trading,been crushing it on imaginary trades,and decided to enter your first order, which was a 500 lot.. Nothing like sticking the big toe in the water Dont feel bad,your imaginary P and L exploded...
Well, I'm running out of time. So, I'm getting pretty desperate and willing to face my fear. Once I make 20k or 30k I'll have the confidence to make real trades everyday. I can win that in 1 trade easily - I just have to calm down, relax, clear my foggy mind a little and face my fear.
Im emboldened to face my fears today too. Gonna do an all in 200k options trade in the last 30 minutes . Probably a SPY 0 day. wish me luck
%% SOMETHING ELSE that may help you a lot\ it may shock you to find out how many profitable traders/investors would not risk 16k or anywhere near that on something so low priced. And most of all you you did not '' knew it would be massive day down.'' Reality checks ,or reality cash however can be even better. IF i was afraid of something anywhere near 3,000 time i would find out why, because you most likely right to be afraid a of cheap order with that volume. FEW catch '' the'' bottom or up top tic. Trend study may help??
