What do you do when a good idea doesn't work?

I think everyone here is familiar with this in one way or another. And most of them then say, "A burnt child shuns the fire" and don't touch the stock once the rapid loss has been realized.

When about 2 weeks ago the good @Epi presented the idea of entering Natural Gas on a leveraged basis, some people, including myself, followed suit. What happened was that it went down and at least I quickly closed out the loss of almost 20%. Then it continued downwards. And then the crazy multibagger thought to himself (only cowards learn from harm) 😂then go back in. No sooner said than done! And now I'm 32% up and have already more than compensated for the losses of the first trade.

The point I'm trying to make is that a good idea can also be right if it doesn't work on the first try.

@Multibagger That's how it goes :) I also got on the bandwagon, but didn't have the energy to buy more at that moment. I just stayed in... .) @Epi has somehow been extremely quiet since then, which is a shame, I always find his ideas incredibly exciting and would like to try something like this again and again...

@Multibagger I'm afraid you're right. But maybe he'll come up with something great again soon :) Coffee, gas or cucumbers, pumpkins whatever :) :)

@Migu11 Take a closer look at $TLT5. 🤫
@Multibagger @Epi Are you still on board here? Do you perhaps have an up-to-date opinion on this for me? Best regards

@Migu11 I am unfortunately out at 6.50$. I see this as a pure trading position and am now waiting for the next setback. If I were you, I would place an SL sell order in my head. If it goes below 6.50 I would be better off selling.

Thank you
