6.12.23 I probably should have made this Bobby's homework assignment..... I went back to take another look at gold to help me manage my Miserable state of mind... which was totally unnecessary. I added the coffee market which is moving beautifully... even though it got lower after the weekend. It's very important to understand the tools and went to take profits to avoid Drawdowns.... and also to allow you to take a profit.... let the market reverse... and then actually take a long trade. There will always be good decisions, Marginal decisions. and bad decisions<<<<Coupled with greed and fear. But this is why we use tools and strategies that help us sort it out. Everybody who trades... has losing trades.You learn to prepare for it. For example... when I go out to buy two pieces of pastry, not just one...AND A large cup of coffee... I bring some Pepto-Bismol To deal with any untoward consequences. Always be prepared.
