I am not active in trading at all so the use of paper trading will be useful for me to provide a platform for me to check my own viewpoint to see the results.

Time will tell. It will be best to leave it for long run so that it can then provide a clearer picture to my investment goals. An example of me selling low but, I dont want to wait till the Appl stock go lower than $150 ... I think it is good to earn money whenever possible.

I think it is always good to have a plan in mind. If the plan is not in my favour, I will need to learn how to revisit it and look back at my thesis. I will do the necessary to at least check my profit and loss margin. Fail to plan , plan to fail...

How to ride the waves effectively depends on individuals. For me, I just watch and learn first as it is painful to look at losses. Will we ever win the algorithms that's my more important question than talking about buidling a portfolio?

As the saying goes "an apple a day keeps the doctor away", I think it will be apt even for the investors investing in the stock. No need to constantly be fearful of bad drastic dips for this company.

Speculative play is plain greed gain and if it really goes my way, I will strike big just like how all the other uncle punters whom I saw them sitting in the coffeeshop to horse bet...I will think about it again if only when such meme days are back.

Practise mindfulness breathing to induce myself to sleep during sleepless nights and to remind ownself that such days will be over... it is not the end of the world as you can always win back next time, however small the future winning trades will be. Stay positive ✓

It was expected to be a poorer start due to the impending interest rate hike. It is better to start a small trade to avoid the painful paper losses. Gonna have patience to be waiting for dark clouds to be over.
