I Bit Off The Coin

This was one of the most heartbreaking wins I ever had... BTCUSD was a pair I had been building a relationship long before I ever made this entry. This pair is extremely volatile. I mean it is crypto! I decided to dable because I had a high probability setup. Although the price did go my way, I got greedy and decided to hold overnight. Big mistake. I nearly went back into drawdown the following day, but i set my SL in profit, in case i walked away from my laptop. Unfortunately, what was my biggest trade, ever turned into a brace for near disaster. If only I set some parameters, such as a TP 1 & 2 I would have secured more profit! This is not going to be my last rodeo with crypto, but I like to share that a plan and mindfulness are key, to trading a highly volatile instrument such as bitcoin.
