Hi traders. Shane here this is my first time blogging about a trade since 2015. I'm here to suggest that we as traders follow our instincts. Our mentors on Profitly teach us this and it's very important For the past three weeks I had been following a certain stock and it was reacting the way I thought it would. But I never COULD pull the trade. I did and then faded. Well ya'll the trade I was going to put on went gangbusters, I am kicking myself now. I was going to put a bull spread on AVGO, then a put swing to hedge in case of a let down. But you know sometimes you just have to TRADE. Stop blogging and trade. Lesson learned. Trust your gut, do intense research, don't go blind into trades or trade from daily charts in the interim. I'm a short term momentum trader that basis off of gut feelings and historical perspective. What has the STOCK done, not the company. Great companies don't always make good stock picks. Let's take Coca-Cola. Yes it's a long term winner, but it's underperformed the broader market since the bear market in 2008. I could go on and on. Thanks for reading. Next time I blog it will be about a live trade instead of missed opportunity. "PULL the trager" -Shane
