How do you control the greed?

Hi all,

I wanted to ask how do you control the emotions that push at us all when we are trading?

​

As an example and keeping in mind I'm still quite new and inexperienced when BLUR first came available on coinbase I bought some. I DMOR in my flawed way and was confident there would be a spike then a drop then a bounce back to roughly GBP 1 per coin. I should have known better really considering coinbase gave me warning I had never seen before about how very volatile and experimental this one was but I cracked on.

The spike had already hit before I could buy then came the dip. I bought around 0.7 GBP feeling smug and it went back upto a little over GBP1 really I should have sold here but this is where the greed kicked in I had my plan but hell what if I had underestimated what if this was the next big thing maybe I should hold just a bit longer. Then it dropped. and dropped some more. went right down to about half what I bought.

I thought well it wasn't a large investment just leave it be and see what happens. My plan was wait for break even and sell or leave it in my wallet as a warning to myself.

BLUR is starting to come up a bit in the last week or so closer to the break even and along with it is my greed thinking hmmm maybe I wont sell at break even and just let it ride. could be the next big thing...

​

Do you guys have any strategies to control this sort of thing or are we all here because at the end of the day we are gamblers?
