i opened a short on QQQ as soon as i saw the intraday double top, it played out exactly as i expected
i was at like +5% on the position at a point
but i didn't cover and it retardpumped all the way until I got stopped at the exact daily top for a -10% loss
maybe the stock market is just not my thing man, these weeks have been so fucking demoralizing, from buying the very fucking top on NIO and watching it go from +10% to -20% as it bled -5% daily, to shorting the daily bottoms on QQQ almost like clockwork while missing out on the big flushes like what happened yesterday afternoon.
I've lost more than 20% of my portfolio to this retardedness even though the market has been moving as I predicted.
How do you guys deal with situations like this? I literally feel so damn stupid I wanna pull all my money out of my account and never look back.
Every day I wake up and tell myself "this time it will be different", try to keep my mind in place to avoid falling for revenge trading or outright gambling, but it just ain't going right.
