Dang ROKU, WTF? My calls allllmost made it back to even, where I would have sold them.
No offense intended here but you should realize that this mentality is the difference between a good trader and a not so good trader (ie. an amateur). Outside of a pure arbitrage strategy, the success rate of trades is not a very important performance statistic. Cutting losers quickly and being patient with winners is the most important thing in this vocation. It is difficult to do because human nature causes us to favor the opposite (take profits quickly and ride the loss in hope it becomes a success). Paying the small tuition of a small loss on a bad trade will eventually lead to more confidence in your trading and save you from big losses as you finally stop-out at the bottom.
Also recently learned that rewarding bad behavior is the worst trait for a trader. It gives confidence to repeating.
