The market is in a retracement but I just want to try my luck to catch any early upturn. The problem is this, I have an impulse to trade which I am trying to curb. I fear more in missing a run than taking a loss which fuel my urge to trade even when market condition is not favorable. At least I made a small bet on this trade, and hopefully I can be disciplined enough to stop trading for the time being.
