I'll take profits too soon sometimes, but I'm getting better about leaving some
on the table.

Also, I'll not cut a loss fast enough, and wait for it to come back.

Like most people, buying too much too early. I also tend to be streaky and I
let it affect me too much. Really wish I knew how it control this more
effectly, but I'm trying.

not giving myself enough wiggle room in stops for day-trades. To remediate: set
the stop just outside the 5 minute bar day chart where movement clearly indicate
the resistance is broken

Ryan, I jump the gun...I hear certain facts in another company and I go
alright...I know this is going to help or hurt another company...I jump
in...alone...no one else sees it that way, ouch, or it takes a long time for
someone to notice (like when they report). To fix it, working on it, but
look...I am jumping up and down already jumping into ASCO plays before the news
even hits..so maybe I will have have to suffer more pain until I wait patience.
BTW great question. Nymph
