God I'm bumming so hard. I had Murphy, PXD, LADR, HP, Wynn. Would have made me each over 12k.... sold for a combined 10k profit. I should have held. I got too scared
You need to take the $10k and be ecstatic. The mentality of leaving money on the table and dwelling on it will **** you up and you'll likely get to a point of pushing your limits and you'll get whacked. Happened to me a lot early on thinking "just hold it a little longer...there's more there" and then some PR came out and dropped it faster than a lead balloon.
If you're going to actively trade, you ABSOLUTELY need to have a short term memory.
