DAY 30 - TIPS ON HOW TO FREE YOURSELF FROM FEAR

alifari Posted 30 Aug.  in #Trader's blog #Fear #Greed #Tips
Tips on How to free yourself from Fear & Greed

  • Have a trade plan and stick to it.

  • When you trade, have ZERO things that show your account balance ever. If you see no $ value on the chart you will think rationally, rather than emotionally and will trade what the chart is telling you.

DAY 29 - FEAR, GREED & EGO

alifari Posted 29 Aug.  in #Trader's blog #Fear #Greed #Ego
We always fight our hidden demons, weaknesses, 'know it better', FEAR & GREED. Those two plus one's EGO can lead to self destruction of a trader. Big leverage, rush and greed will put you crying in a fetal position one day and it's not a pleasant experience.
Slow and steady, and capital preservation will do miracles to your account over time. What's most important is to look back and see what went wrong or what worked and always seek improvement.

What's your fear? Какие у вас страхи?

AlinaSelina Posted 30 May  in #Fear #Miss Dukascopy 2016 #Scared #Bebrave
Good afternoon.
I hope everyone is doing great
Probably, all of us were scared of a lot of things when we were kids, right?
As far as I remember, I was always scared to go to a dentist. Also, I was scared of bad weather, which is: crazy rain with thunder and lightning. Something bothered me every time during this weather. I was also scared of getting food poisoning, because the process is really unpleasant. There was a time, when I was scared of the darkness. And, to stay alone in some line, whe…

DAY 13 - FEAR FACTOR IN TRADING

alifari Updated 13 Feb.  in #Trader's blog #Trading #Fear #Factor
In my opinion, a retail trader experience different kind of fear while trading forex. So it is important for a trader to identify what actually he/she is afraid of:
1) Are u afraid of losing money
2) Are u afraid of losing because it will hurt your ego
3) Are u afraid because you are not confident about your strategy
4) Any other reasons beside above
The answer to 1 & 2 is, as a trader you have to accept that losses would occur and even the best of traders lose and it's a probabilities game and …

How to Trade A Trading Idea

Daytrader21 Posted 14 Jan.  in #Trader's blog #Fear #Trading Idea #XXX/JPY #Psychological Factor
The next important question any trader has, after having an trading idea is: How are you going to play that idea? This question is especially true in the case of long-term traders as it's not enough to spot a trade setup you'll have to have a plan and how are you going to implement that plan as well.
Since beginning of the year I was calling this correction in yen pairs, and you can find plenty of evidence in my blog. But since I was coming flat into the new week I had to find somehow to re-posi…

As a trader, we all have different kind and levels of fear and if we want to succeed in trading we have to come out of this fear factor. So the best way to do it is to identify what you are afraid of.

I fear myself. Either I will go crazy. Or greedy. Otherwise no problem. But Now I am going not only Professional but also Exponential. ))))) Still working out the Practical Plan. I will be completely free in Feb. Then my strategy would be to Scare the markets not myself. How ? Come with 100. Go with 500. Or give away the 100. So mathematical chances are that generally I will win.

Good luck with your strategy, as long as the risk to reward ratio is in you favor eventually you will win in long term.

Trading Advice: Are you afraid to trade?

forexgrange Posted 26 Mar.  in #Trading #Forex #Hermin Robillard #Dukascopy #Money #Fear #Greed
I had received questions from traders, and in many of them I overview the fear to trade. Is this your case too? And over the years I have in the trading environment, I hear about new traders, novice, experienced traders etc. but I can conclude that we have only have "good traders" and "not so good traders". To be good trader, of course you need knowledge and skills that require times and patience, but someone can have years trading and still be a "not so good trader" because only times can't giv…

Ofcourse :) Trading this is a skill, and you need to learn it, if you have an instruction a rules, its makes you learning better and faster, than making your own mistakes.

Making mistakes learning the trading game is something natural and normal. But, the only thing you have to be careful about it's "...to not die trying..." For example, big mistakes in money management can cost a trading career... And I always believe that if you don't have good MENTOR who really know the trading universe, it will be hard life to survive in the forex trading market...

Being Ultra Picky or Overcautious - Does it Help ?

alifari Posted 29 Dec.  in #Trader's blog #Fear #Picky
I often read on numerous trading forums that their strategy has a high win rate because they take very few trades and that they are ultra picky. But when a retail trader try to apply that same strategy in live market environment and forward test it, they fail to achieve similar results and in fact they hardly make any money. Why is that ?
In my opinion, trading say 4-5 setups per month is going to lead to increased pressure on each trade and thus increases the chances of making an illogical deci…
