Basically this. Now you have liquidity to put it into something(s) that will rise even faster. Then post a smug Pepe.

So basically don't trade at all?

Literally all of the safest stocks have had times where they fluctuated percentages in 60 second windows.

If 60 second windows of time DONT affect your return then literally die, because why are you trading with dads lunch money?

don't do this

yeah buy 99% of the time you didn't profit

What's the difference between a loss and a profit you could've had but didn't? I'd consider it an equal failure in terms of it losing you money. Doesn't really matter if a particular trade is profitable or not. You could lose on 90% off trades and still profit overall if you're making long shots and do well, all depends on your strategy.

It's like looking back and thinking about how you could be a billionaire if you, 5 years ago bought apple stocks or bitcoin or real estate somewhere you know that grew real quick.

There's no fucking point. Learn your lessons, use your profits and keep making it,

The market is full of thousands of these on a daily basis.
Is each and every one your personal failure?
That's like thousands of failures every day.
If you see things that way, I'd kill yourself now and get it over with.

You don't have control over the price, but you do have control over how conservative your stop losses are

>>1378493
>You don't have control over the price
But you do have control over the trades you make, and if you miss opportunities due to ignorance, laziness, whatever; that's no one's fault but your own, which equals lost profit (due to your inaction).
You can beat yourself up about it, or you can realize that profiting elsewhere is still profiting, and say fuck it.
It's way better than losses.

don't invest in meme stocks

here's some quick advice -

learn about chart indicators so you know when a stock is enduring a downward trend or an upward trend (MACD, RSI, Moving Average)

Look at the S&P500. There are things called ETFs. They follow groups of stocks. There are ETFs for the S&P.

So if you invested in UPRO (which follows the S&P), you would have made money. If it falls, invest in an inverse ETF, which does the opposite of the index it follows. SDS follows the S&P inversely, so it went down today since the S&P went up.

if you made a profit then who gives a shit
