TWO! 2! TWO TIMES NOW WHERE I WAS ACTUALLY CERTAIN OF A PLAY NOT JUST AN "OH IT SHOULD GO DOWN" AN ACTUAL FEELING SAYING I SHOULD DO IT! IGNORE IT BECAUSE OF MY ANTICS LAST YEAR SCREWING ME OVER MAKING ME AVERSE TO BUY PUTS ANS BUY CALLS. COULD'VE DOUBLED MY MONEY ALREADY IN EITHER OF THESE CASES!!!!

How do I let go of this fear that remains from a major screw up wherein I lost thousands. The trades I could've done since were literally ones that could've resulted in a doubling or more!

I rarely consider buy calls or puts anymore, now the only time I've seriously considered doing them was when I had that feeling that it will move that way very, very soon. And of course it moves in my direction.
