Your post got me thinking because I know that I sell too early nearly all the time. So I went back through my super fund trades that I've done the last 3 weeks (actually since 18 March so 3 weeks 1 day) and every trade that I did went up. Even the two that I lost on FFX (which ended up going up a lot from where I bought it for) and MFG (that I bought on Thursday went up yesterday morning so I would have made on it). So in other words my entries are all cool. My exits however are total $hit. After calculating what I traded I made $36003 and the majority of that ($26190) was on AGY as that was the only trade that I held onto longer to give it time to go up. I made 22 trades during that time period and only the AGY one was any good. If I had of held all of the trades from the entry price to their highs I could have made $176558. That means I missed out on $140555. That's pretty damn bad. Of course I know that you're never going to pick the highs all the time but even if I could have made half of the $140555 that I missed it's an extra $70000. Definitely wouldn't mind that. What I think that I need everyone on here to do is when I buy the next one you just tie me up and put me in a basement for a few weeks so I can't touch a friggin' computer to sell anything and then after a few weeks you can let me out to sell haha. But seriously I knew I sold too early but never really looked into it. So I just have to hold longer. It's going to be hard to change my habits but starting next week I'm going to try cause I'm missing out on way too much

Anyway thanks for posting that and getting me to look into it

Also can you please tell me not to sell too quick when I buy something? Thanks
