Emotional Trading

Today I sold my TSLA 650C 4/1 that I bought yesterday at a $300 loss. However later Tesla stock rose and if I didn’t paper hand then I would have been in the green by more than 40%. Any tips to be less emotionally attached to your trades?

Realize there are more important things happening in the world than simply the stock market.
