It’s so much mental focus require to day trade due to the rapid changes. I was unable to capitalize on the move up from April to today in the general market. The switch from bearish to bullish and vise versa is partly why I simply could not hold on to winners. Since this rise in markets from April a lot of the price increase has come from after hours. I simply had a difficult time holding over nights. Still I look forward to the next trading session.
On the note of cutting winners to soon and holding losers too long I have learned to scale in rather than go all in. The zero commission from a lot of brokers has made this much more cost effective.
