Dow Jones - I Got Killed



The worldwide market was overall bullish yesterday. With that same expectation, I went to the Dow Jones to look for long signals which I found some after I saw a cob and a 3/4 bottom. I went long and saw some not bad profits. I also knew I need to take profits for very short term as it touched the supply zone but greed was getting the best of me as I wanted a little more before I called it a day.





Suddenly, the sell down came very unexpectedly and the market fall. It kept falling and I had some fear as to whether to cut loss or not. I scrolled the entire 5 minute chart to observe again and I saw it touched a small demand area and hence I decided to hand on a little while as the market was to me quite bullish. As you can see from the chart, I longed my last 10 contracts really at the bottom and it started to turn up again. It turned to form a cob and I went to sold with $1000 profits while I cut the rest of my losses with -$4000. I should have cut earlier and shouldn't suffer that emotion roller coaster but said is easier than done. Damn, I should have took my earlier loss and bought more at the bottom as shown in my last 10 contracts.




Towards the end of night, after some losses and got killed by those sellers, I went to long 20 contracts for a quick one. It started to range up/down with no trends and I decided to call it a day on a small profits and not to sleep with overnight risk. Market rebounded end of day but I was sleeping with peace and at least I don't have to think about my positions anymore. I take this lesson seriously and will improve on not being greedy and should a small loss happen, just take it. Moving on to next week.
