It is always greed and fear

My first trade is making money,when Itry use the ask price to sell. It immediately drop below my buying price. I do have a chance to get out in even. but I try to make 4 dollar more. It drops again like a rock. Instead making money for this trade,it become a losing trade. No regret. Thinking trade well. Instead focusing the losing trade,I have to focus for the next high probality trade. Yes,I got it. At least I got it for a positive number for today.

Try to use small order get used too the market. Andto avoid the mistake I made. Then try gradually add size or increase the risk tolerance. Most important,try to do what market is telling to do and follow it. Trade well not for money,money is the byproduct of trading. That is my goal. Easy said than done. Trading the market is a special business. The money is a tool here. When think this way,that is a progress.  Let's try to use this tool well.
