Personal Relationships and Adequate Trading

Одно из самых важных в торговле это психология и нельзя эмоциям давать ходу, must be suppressed. I can't say, that my results have worsened due to difficulties in my personal life, but it affects my trading a lot. You stop thinking adequately and start making stupid mistakes.. You can't think about something else while trading and let the emotions from life influence it., but I'm still human. This is the only thing that affects me, otherwise calm as a tank. Leaving trading for a while would be the right decision, BUT you can't give in to them and you have to move on. Results should improve from month to month. I would gladly give up everything and go somewhere far away to rest. P.S. Now the month is at zero, как бы не торговать)

I could not stand the nervous tension. Came out for correction. There, where it was necessary to top up the position.

Fought two personalities. One had to keep, and the second (victorious) prevent a profitable position from becoming unprofitable.

The zeros are shorter.

On the one hand - failure, but I will work on myself. There will be more opportunities.

On the other hand, I don’t lose, and that’s good. (:

Emotions over the edge. Need to get away from the terminal. I'll go for a walk with Alex…

How to get rid of the burden of emotions

All last year Bob traded. He's still a rookie., but has already made hundreds of transactions. Today he's in The Long Onel.. He has a plan.. It manages risk. This deal does not stand out from its other positions.. There is no reason to somehow differentiate this deal, but somehow she still stands out. He is not sure, what can trade today. He wonders, why does he continue to trade. He thinks: “Do I like it all? What is the purpose?? What I want to achieve in general?” In this deal, right now, Bob carries an excess emotional burden.. He went into a business as usual, but made it a symbol of the overall picture; gave her deep meaning. Bob examines, what exactly does this deal mean to him. Most traders advise taking a day off., when such thoughts appear.

Remedy for fear of failure

Our approach to trading is determined by the vision of the future and expectations. For example, if we are too scared, we refuse to take mother risks, and as a last resort we may even be afraid to enter a deal. Our expectations, knowingly or unknowingly, have a huge impact on trading results. Traders face many common fears, and each of them is based on beliefs and assumptions, which should be identified and refuted. For example, in his book “Trade in the Zone”, Mark Douglas highlights such fears, which became the cause of many trading mistakes: be wrong, lose money, exit the game, leave money on the table. Many of these fears reflect a fear of failure..

Trading & Gambling. What's the difference??

I grew up in a small town near Las Vegas.. One summer, a group of teach lei decided to work part-time in a casino while on vacation. Fun for fun, они объединили свои деньги, To view, what's going to happen, if they constantly play on a machine with one lot to the jackpot. They lost about a quarter of their money.. This story shows that, what we all know so. Non-professional players will never be able to leave the casino, even with a zero balance. Free alcoholic drinks, entertainment, lounges are the only goal for non-professionals, who come to the casino to relax and lose money. The casinos are arranged like this, that the probability is always in their favor. Everything, what they need to do is wait, let people play and stuff their safes with cash. Playing casinos can be fun, if you know, how to limit your losses, and when to finish the game. If you don't manage risks, trade without a reliable trading plan and trading strategy, trading is an activity similar to playing in a casino for the sake of relaxation.
