a for sure, b is fine provided you didnt buy the top

A makes you feel bad when it keeps going up. B makes you feel relief when you see it continuing to go down. Simple as

>> No.50696335

Obviously selling too early feels way worse as you will look back with regret over the next weeks/months and there is a risk to fomo in and buy the top, if you wait to sell til B there is no time of regret as your sale immediately gets more and more valuable

A
Sure you potentially missed out on substantial profit, but ultimately you walked out with a net gain.
B is getting btfo by buying the top and salvaging whatever you have left.

if you bought at t0 and price keeps stable as t approaches infinity

then

>during A-B timeframe, selling at A feels bad obviously
but after B timeframe, selling at A feels good

whereas with B, selling feels good as price is down after always

so selling at A feels worse, but only for small period of time

>> No.50696474

Assuming you made money, B feels worse to me. A is a nice quick profit which is more repeatable. With B, you felt the highs when it was at the top and now know how much you missed your chance to sell.

I sold 5 unisocks at $5k years ago
the decision haunts me forever. I could've made it. every morning I put on my socks and weep.

i'd say a. you locked in profit before the top, lots of buyers nice and safe. b is just oh fuck and hoping someone will buy.

A feels good at first then worse later
B feels bad at first then better later

Technically it's better to sell at A as you haven't paid the opportunity cost. Plus inflation is eating away at your profit so you are losing x% in real purchasing power depending on how long the x axis is.

But nah A definitely feels worse tho

you could've used that money for another trade in the meanwhile

b is worse

in case a you can still buy back in and sell again - if you missed the timing on b you're just in the hole

With A you're validated for predicting price will go up and you got out at a price you set for yourself. With B you're capitulating that you missed the top.

Anyone who says A is literally retarded.

As someone who has done both. Let me tell you. B is absolutely soul crushing. I bought a few shares of GME during its initial hype. I could have sold at the top and made $1500 on a $300 bet. But I got greedy and fell for the hype. When all was said and done I only made out with a $100 profit, so I still made money but I could barely get out of bed for three days I was so distraught.
Recently I swung trade SNX and made a good 30% profit. I thought the price would drop after I sold and was quite wrong. I'm bummed out, but I can still look at myself in the mirror.
The one exception to this is if you sold too early and it turns out you could have made life-changing fuck you money. I've never been in that situation and I hope I never am.

How can people say B is worse? Im always happy with B knowing I still got out before it went below my buy in. Its not about what you couldve made, its about what you avoided losing.
