Do you play video games often? I ask as i think this tendency might be a learned habit from that. In vidya you learn to min/max, try for absolute optimal outcome as there is no real penalty for doing so other than loss of your time. I had to break this habit myself when i was learning to trade. Basic TA can help you with this. Something really simple like the Rate of Change indicator; buy signal is when line crosses zero to positive side, sell when line crosses zero to negative. It's not an amazong indicator but it will give you an idea of the general areas consistent buying and selling should be happening.

Never gonna buy the absolute bottom, never gonna sell absolute top. It would have to be a total fluke, twice, for you to do so.
