Psychology is a big factor in trading. Do u know what triggers you.

You consider losses as a failure and not a statistical thing?
You trade to much risk so you make bad decisions?
Worried about being successful?

You wont make it unless you identify your mental issue and correct it thur sheer will. Change yourself or you method.

Anxiety to make it, to succeed..
Lack of patience for things to fall into place.
So I cant deal with set backs, because it means to slow down.
And from there we go down.

I stop waiting for signals, I stop doing things how they should.

Thats about it

Its hard to think with a cool mind.

I accepted a bad day, and dealt with it. stopped when the limit of losses is achieved this should happen less.
Or at least will be less damaging

That sucks brother.

I read you made loads before which means you can do it again, you proved that.

I've stopped thinking about money and only points. Even every day my missus nags me about money money money but I am not having it, I will never be dragged in feeling stressed about money and trading anymore. I blew one 1000 dollar account before only because I was always thinking about making money so yeah, it's the mind not the system. Now, my mind can turn on a dime from money to points a day, a lot easier to think about ... and a lot easier to "feel" about too.

Take care bud, keep at it.
WAS A YALE STUDENT. Now? Let's see!

Well identified.

My own personal demon when setting out was the fact that, although I didn't ''care'' about money, I was a rabid perfectionist. I HATED it when I broke a streak of wins. I would NEVER end the day/session/hour/minute with a loser.

It was crippling me. So that was the one thing to break and I simply ended up using the same psychological techniques I used when kicking a football, which came down to - at its most basic - as my coach would say, ''100 million Chinese don't give a damn'', lol.

Maybe slower is faster. Some people put too much pressure on themselves and can't make it.

What if you double your account every 2 months instead of 1 week? As long as you are pressured about the speed you will probably continue to make bad decisions.

Totally true.

I keep failing and never advance. 1 year from now I rather double every 2 month that keep losing.

Rethinking everything at the moment

Consider;
Lower risk%
Risk $$$ based on current account size.
Use same risk in dollars for each trade
make 12.5% week or 50% month
After 4 weeks change risk in dollars based on new account size and make 12.5% a week.

Hit 100% start over.

Don't focus on the actual 12.5 % just execute, what happens happens. You'll be able to evaluate your performance after each month.

Howdie Partner,

Why is friday not a good day to get into a position for a Long Term Trader? Besides the monday open gaps any other reason we should sit out on friday? Be safe friend.
