Learned A Lesson On $SNAP
This week's $500 account challenge update comes with a dose of real talk – a cautionary tale about the dangers of emotional trading. I know what you might be thinking - "Wait, a 'Trading Influencer' is about to talk about a loss"? Yeah we do that here at PB Alerts, losing is part of trading and nothing to be ashamed of!!
The $SNAP Slip-Up: We entered a $SNAP position on Friday. Feeling confident, I neglected to set a stop-loss order this morning during my busy Monday morning routine, mistakenly believing the price wouldn't dip low enough to hit my stop loss before I got aroudn to it... Wrong! The market had other plans, and $SNAP plummeted, exceeding my intended stop-loss, and leaving me down $8 (if I had stopped out where I wanted to I would only be down $5 on the trade). Luckily, I caught the freefall and exited the trade before it went any lower.

The good news here is I didn't HODL the stock, hoping that it would come back up. This is a common emotional trigger that happens after a mistake like this, as is Revenge Trading. We had Day Trade levels for $SNAP, but I decided to take this one off of my watchlist for the day, to avoid the possibility of emotionally trading it.
Confessions of a UBERholic: We all have our guilty pleasures, and in the stock market mine happens to be day trading $UBER options. Let's just say it's my personal brand of YOLO. Today, the urge to chase a quick win on $UBER (to makeup for the loss from my mistake with $SNAP) was strong. After the $SNAP mishap, I found myself glued to the $UBER chart, itching to pull the trigger on a day trade.
Taking the Cure: Thankfully, a lightbulb went off! This wasn't a well-thought-out trade based on my strategy; it was pure emotional craving. Recognizing this as a symptom of the "YOLO bug" (thanks to our Trading Psychology lessons!), I knew it was time for the cure. I shut my Webull down for the rest of the morning. Stop-losses were set and price alerts were armed for my existing positions, but for the morning, I decided to take a break from the market.

The Power of Self-Awareness: This experience highlights the importance of self-awareness in trading. By recognizing my personal triggers for emotional decisions, I was able to avoid a potentially costly mistake. It's a constant learning process, but catching myself before diving headfirst into a YOLO trade is a major win! TraderSync helps with this.
Lessons Learned:
- Stop-Losses are Your Friend: Never underestimate the importance of stop-loss orders. They protect your capital and prevent emotional decisions during sharp price movements.
- Emotions Cause Forced Trades: When emotions cloud your judgment, you start forcing trades that don't align with your strategy. Wait for your high-probability setups and trade according to your plan, not your feelings.
- Self-Awareness is the Best Medicine: Learn to recognize your personal triggers for emotional trading. Once you identify them, you can develop coping mechanisms to avoid costly mistakes.
This experience served as a powerful reminder that even seasoned traders can fall prey to emotional decision-making. By prioritizing self-awareness, sticking to our trading plan, and utilizing risk management tools, we can navigate the emotional rollercoaster of the market and make sound trading decisions.

$SYM Trade
Our order for $SYM filled this morning for 2 shares at $35. After $SNAP I made sure to set my stop loss order for this one.
