Hi guys,
Spent much time last night drawing up charts after @valvesound put up his thoughts for today. BTW thanks for doing it on a Sunday valve gave me time to do some study.
So, had all my support and resistance lines drawn in on SCI, it was going to be my play for today. Logged in to VP, there was my charts with all my indicators in place. Watched SCI open at 1.4, thought to myself no, do not chase, look what happened last time you chased a stock. So I am thinking it will come back to touch 1.2 after the traders have had their play. You guys know the rest. If I had got in my sell would have been at 2.0. One of the resistance levels was at 2.1 so that's why I would have put my sell at 2.0. Ended up moving my buy to 1.4 but it was never going to happen. I guess this happens to you guys all the time?
So saw ECS at 8.3 and wanted to place a buy late this arvo. Just then VP decided to sheet itself. Thought it was me so rebooted PC at 4pm to be there for the auction. VP booted up okay but all my indicators on SCI were lost. Autosave was on but I have no idea where to find them. And ECS was going to close out at 8.7, so I missed my run there also.
@shovel40 I realise spilt milk and all that but I feel it when I missed out on 40%.
I guess this is something I am going too have to get used to.

Try not to get hung up on any one particular trade. There will be plenty more to come and there will be plenty more that you will miss. Such is trading.
I've said before over the long term your account will thank you if you do not chase. The other alternative is to buy a smaller than usual parcel if you absolutely must participate (FOMO).

Try not to rage trade also if you're encountering technical problems, the wife/kids are annoying you, or any other disruptions to trading. Unfortunately we have to just let it go.
