DAY 29 - 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.
You can show a 10 year old kid a method and he/s…

A devilish triangle of impatience, fear and greed ...(3)

Greed is the third thing that can bring us to our knees. An old trader once told me,
that one must show the market of humility. "Take what you want", he said to me, "and leave the rest to others :-)))) " confuse
we humility not with fear. Humility means also "respect".
Activities and finish the trade for that day
immediately if a single loss. Do you always jump with stop-courses and
Do not out of greed behind a missed opportunity. And very, very important: keep your trading volume on the accepta…

Trading Advice: Are you afraid to trade?

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...

Do not try to lose more than you can afford... that includes money as well as emotions... competition is not the same. Otherwise, if the market is going really for you, just set the SL above the price you bought so to guarantee a profit (not possible in trader contest)

Part of the solution has already been given out by you. What I can add to your valuable advice is that most often if you can't hold your position after it has gone in your direction is partially because your type of personality want instant gratification and you most likely are better off if you're doing short term trending rather than long term trading. Secondly one way to shift the odds in your favor is by knowing the market microstructure that you're trading, this gives you the advantage to make a better judgement if the move is genuine or not.

The difference

One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he
asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money
from you, I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill,
the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doi…
