I funded my trading account a few months back. Put 5gs ins....I made a few good trades and my account had 10,000 in it. I did not take profits because my initial analysis i thought i could make 20+grand on the trade.... so instead of making money on the trade i let it slowly disappear to nothing. my account now has 3000 in it. expensive mistake i guess hahah...what trading rules do you guys follow for profit taking?
..more on what i was actually trading.....(on this particular trade)
I bought 10 march wheat 700 call options. for 1 cent($50 each) i later sold 10 march call 800 calls for the same 500 risked. so a free trade....when this took off these options i bout were worth 600$....i just didn't do anything with it after. even though i lost all of these profits. i was trying to just still to my initial plan of attack....
oh well...maybe next time
