Anyone else sell when the -.3% GDP print hit? Well I did and
just sadly watched all day while the market rallied to yet another
green day. I'm awful at this game.
it's never easy man...what helps is making a plan. Even a daily
plan with notes that you write down each day, the previous
day/evening write down a couple scenarios and the action you would
take depending on the news or reaction so that your decisions are
made ahead of time instead of emotion in the heat of the moment.
That helps with emotion as you can just follow the plan.
My notes this morning were on a big gap down don't sell right
away, wait and see if it finds support and reverses because of end
of quarter and MSFT and META reporting (which I favored
beating)
Yep have a plan, got out in the morning, now back short again.
Trading 1hr charts and lower time frames. This market is carefully
managed by the powers that be.
