Started shorting in February
I’ve been “trading” 3 years ago. I started like usual, with several Green Day’s and I had no clue what was doing. Then the market humbled me really hard. Started studying and planning strategy with success after 1 year. Finally I had profit again and made 7k, but again the market humbled me. Strike 2. Didn’t have risk management or self control. Just wanted to trade basically anything that was moving.
So in February I decided to start shorting stocks. I know is very very risky, but I feel more comfortable shorting than going long. Now I record all my trades, with screenshots included, have a very strict risk management rules and more important I don’t rush to trade anything that is moving. I wait till I see the A+ set up or the B+ Set up. There’s days that I don’t trade. If I hit my limit loss I stopped trading that day. If I hit my goal I don’t overtrade. Still have a long way ahead but this system/plan has been working well for me. I don’t stress, at least I don’t panic like the past 2 years. So if you think you’re stuck, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.
