Since some people here would also like to see negative trades for reasons of transparency and I also posted the purchase, here is the proof that you can make mistakes even with a lot of experience and that risk trades can also go wrong.
However, it is more important for me to explain which mistakes led to this. First of all, I was fundamentally convinced of the value $NOW (-0,31%) and didn't just want to accompany it in the short term with a derivative. I therefore chose one with an unlimited term and a distance to the KO of almost 10%. Accordingly, I did not initially set a stop. When the price then came under heavy pressure on Wednesday and especially on Thursday, I bought more in speculation of a countermovement and reduced the EK. However, instead of choosing a tight stop on Friday, I chose one that was quite far down, and now comes the fateful part: not a normal stop order, but a limit stop order. The difference is this:
With the stop order, the sell is executed when the stop price is reached at the next price, no matter what it looks like.
With a stop limit order, you specify a limit in addition to the stop price at which you want to sell after reaching the stop price. So e.g.
e.g. sL at €1 with a limit of €0.98.
In my case, the limit price was unfortunately no longer reached after triggering, and so the ticket was knocked out.
Normally, of course, I could have changed it, but as I was at a party last night, I didn't follow it that closely and when I took a look, it had happened 😉
The moral of the story,
Go party, don't trade!😂😂
It's not a disaster now, as the overall ratio of my derivative trades is positive at just under 8 to 2. But total losses don't have to be like this and they happen to me extremely rarely. Especially not when I enter so far from the KO.
