Been through all of these. in addition, when I first started trading, I was too afraid to cut losses and kept holding on to losing stocks, hoping they’d recover. Ended up losing my capital and even had nightmares about it. 😂 Trading without a plan is such an emotional roller coaster. When prices drop, I wanna buy the dip but wonder if they’ll go lower. When they rise, chances to take profit arrive but I wonder if they’ll go higher. End up overthinking and missing both opportunities. 🥲

I used to invest in the Malaysian stock market before getting into US stocks through Tiger Brokers. Malaysian market can be quite stagnant. Some of the stocks I bought dropped in price, and I ended up waiting years just to break even. I also realised that some stocks aren't as safe as I thought, even if they have promising stories or strong government connections. Over the past few years, I've been focusing more on the US market because it grows more steadily. Hopefully, my Malaysian stocks will recover enough for me to exit those positions and clean up my portfolio. 🤞
