For me my problem in trading has always been the opposite of what is described here. When I’m in profit there is no pleasure, I want to close the trade as soon as possible to avoid losing the profit, and when I’m in a losing trade, I hold it as long as possible in hopes it will come back again to at least my break even which often ends in a deeper loss. Thus I am creating very small winners albeit lots of them, however when I lose I lose big and wipe out all my wins and then some. This is backwards of course, letting your winners run and cutting your losers quickly is essentially the key to being a successful trader.
Have a check list in front and fill it before entering a trade Decide the max risk level and amount Have it infront and exit the trade when you see it Trail stoploss Most importantly believe that losses are expenses and can not be avoided but can be reduced Also believe that not all but only few trades will be correct so when you see it's going incorrect cut it immediately and look for next opportunity I believe the problem is we want to be more right than profitable Let's remind ourselves We need not be right often but profitable at the end
but people said that, when you loss, you tend to hold that position and hope that it will less loss (avoid pain of mistake), and when you profit, you tend to close that position (so that i feel you right and avoid loss profit)
I really like this format. The informations provided are useful and interesting! Good job!
As more and more trading is done by robots, will these psychological factors become less and less relevant?
Great information. How can I access ATS software?
You can go to www.tradeats.com and apply to work with us there.
I wait on pain (when in loss) and exit immediately I pleasure 😢
Excellent! That is the beginning of understanding profitability.
not the experience of most traders. they let losers run and take profits tooo early
You are right. This is usually after they are so badly damaged that they have become numb to the pain of loss.
