I felt pretty angry. my trading history is full of these moments. especially moments where i was either waiting for fiat to arrive and miss it, or call a good trade and put off off "till later" and miss it.

I really need to learn to start going with my gut. I get burnt so much more often for NOT doing so than I do for ignoring it. Maybe confirmation bias? idk.

>> No.8162445

>>8162390

In fact just today I FUCKING saw the VEN announcement, it was 40k sats. I said "i'm going to sink 50k usd into this cunt right now and sell after a nice 10%" but then i thought t "eh i finish work in 30 minutes" and thought it could wait till i got home rather than fiddle on my Shiite phone.
Well it fucking mooned and i was too late.

mistake: held altcoins from December till February

success: got into XRP, XLM, VEN, ICX, and REQ before they mooned in december

overall, i'm so far away from my ATH but still in the green by a bit

>> No.8162571

not only sitting on stuff I believe in, but trying to make short-medium term predictions on things I think will be popular.

I would have had ~3x more than now if I had just listened, but only because my short-medium term predictions gave me a compounded 5x. I could have gone 15x.

Fuck. At least I know that I have a good eye for undervalued winners now, so I'm more confident, comfy and patient.

>> No.8162600

>>8162571

its what stings me the most these days.
For the past 3 weeks ive made at least 6 calls where i would have made 20% each time. I ignore my gut and lose out.

need to trust it more.
