i realized the issue here. when it's volatile in the down direction i'm not built for it. when it goes up it's great

I'm not a natural trader either. Traders think discretely, and I think continuously

Eg. Trading dogma is to cut losses quickly. You lose more by remaining "attached" to an under-performing position

But if you thought that way, you couldn't run a startup. You *must* be emotionally connected even at the lows

same, im more a founder/angel type so i end up never selling

for me the right strategy is to focus on long-term bets and ignore short-term movements

this year i leveled up by focusing on timing and sizing
