Do not succumb to regret

When trading the markets losses are commonplace. They cause us pain, but for some traders bitterness from the wrong decision is the worst feeling of all. They blame themselves for having done something wrong. They bring himself so that trying to abandon transactions, not to feel regret afterwards. In the book “For the threshold of greed and fear,” Dr. Hersh Shefrin argues that regret and responsibility are closely linked. The more we accept responsibility for their actions, the more powerful then a feeling of regret.

Everything is bad

6-oh day downtrend on depot is after 8 profitable days…… I'm not funny anymore. WTF?  I can not do anything.. resp

Black line

Jumped)

While I was telling everyone how to make money – provided myself black stripe of deposits, since that week…

The reasons: I cannot trade for a long time only on sure profitable signals, because when I have several days all the trades are profitable.. well that is. finally everything – then sensation, as if any of your trade will be profitable. Because of this, I start trading very boldly.. RFR forgave me this, for that i hate him)) taught me.. But the West abhors insolence.

Chessspeaking last week there were SUCH mixes I can not count – that I almost turned gray) +-+-+-+- As a result, I still lost the battle and confessed to myself, that the market is stronger than me in those moments, when i put myself above him. When it happens – I lose discipline and become vulnerable. Only fear can maintain discipline. Euphoria – this is the opposite of fear, and hence its consequences.

On Thursday I remember, the market just killed some demon in me, broke all arrogance and I'm so glad right now… it became much easier) Yes, it cost money, but I am even glad of these losses.. they completed their mission…

By the way, noticed another pattern, as inertia. Ie. even when you get out of control and suffer big losses, and then you calm down and trade “by system”, then at first it is still moose)) And even if you have 1 potential trade overlaps 6 stop losses, you will end the day with a loss anyway, because there will be 5 moose in a row)))) This is fine. Always like that. The main thing here is not to be confused… and it is correct to distinguish between losses. Losses are different…

In general, I'm right now did everything, what it takes to reverse a profitable trend: reduced account size/volatility and reduced the number of trades, filtering signals as hard as possible. All. According to statistics, only these steps are followed by a reversal..

I'll post the depot schedule later.. but I will say, that it's scary to look at him) If they told me, that it is paper and gave the ticker – I would jerk her off without thinking))

Basically, my always turns into )))))))))

And for God's sake, no comments like “And I told you!!!”)))

The fear reasons

Every day to me to have to move the Gold Bridge in San Francisco to reach my office. It would Seem, what unusual in overcoming the bridge? But San Frantsisko often happen earthquakes. The author knows many townsmen who are afraid to cross the bridge. Some people so are afraid of bridges that try to pass never in a life on them, thereby, limiting the vital and working possibilities. I never was afraid to pass through the bridge, but repeatedly heard conversations of people on the bridge which were in a condition close to the panic. They imagined to themselves the worst scenarios which only can occur, and could not expel these pictures of horrors from the head. In 1989 during earthquake the section of the bridge the Dignity-frantsisko-okland has fallen. Some persons was lost. Probably, you saw reportings on it on TV. If it is fair, I try to forget this case, especially, when I pass on the bridge. But, if the person recollects this event again and again, he has the extremely unpleasant feeling during bridge crossing. The thought and imagination possess the big force and if your consciousness is aimed at terrible thoughts, but to supervise emotions …
