My 2nd trade of the day that went south. I shorted, was in profit near my profit taking range, but didn't close my position. Price ended up going higher, was hitting my stop loss, but instead, I added 3 times more to my position size to have a $60,000 position size, to ladder and average my short. The mistakes I made were:
- I should've stuck to my stop loss but got greedy
- I shouldn't have laddered $20K position size to $60K instead.
- It wasn't worth it for a $150 profit only

Hey Philakone! Been following you on youtube a while now. Finally have myself set up to start trying out your strategy.
Did you end up getting that R8? I'd personally probably have gone with a Tesla Model S but the R8 would have been my 3rd choice after the Nissan GT-R. Until I hit it big though my 350Z will have to do the job. =)
If you're ever down for a drink or blaze on Corydon just leave me a reply here.
