Types in trading: PLAYER

Hello, dear readers.

Trading in the euro is so sluggish, what is left to think, that a short break and stagnation is given in order, so that we can pay attention to more prosaic things, deal with the backlog, put things in order in your head.

А я, in its turn, I want to go through those types of traders, which often hide in each of us. Truth, in a certain period, one type takes over, obscuring the characteristics of others.

I won't even bother to guess, how many of these types of traders are there. I will begin to describe in order. Perchance, someone recognizes himself, your friend or acquaintance. Or maybe he decides to change, noticing from the outside the discrepancy between the profession of a trader and their characteristics.

so, type first:

PLAYER

This is a very common character in trading.. I can guess, what 99% traders went through this state. As a matter of fact, Trading is a great platform to play. Many people say so – «I play forex». Drive is important for a player, adrenaline, courage. Strategy is not important, money management – unnecessary throwback. There is no logic in the player's actions. But this is of course an extreme option.. This state is typical for those, who comes to trading thanks to advertising contests – chop the most and get a prize! Many people hang on this state and continue to participate in contests.. And all for the thrill.

Basically, if there is no goal for a trader-player to work in the market professionally, then emotions in trading and this approach have a right to life. Nothing worse than a casino. BUT, may be, even better.

But for many traders, which consistently go towards a professional approach experience, obtained by passing this stage in the trade is somewhat… hmm… uncomfortable. Like a pain in the ass, every now and then he strives to throw dastardly thoughts about actions, which will add the required spark to trade. For example, increase the pose, although initially the position was already calculated and the stop was measured in accordance with MM. Or else to top up, because the price has passed – JUST THINK ABOUT IT! – Whole 20 points in our direction. What a pruha! It's a sin to miss this opportunity, certainly. Ugums. We know, It was. In general, for some, such dependence on the emotional component is part of life.. «Players in life» get bored, I guess, that's why they are looking for those areas, where is adrenaline, emotions are overflowing. And it doesn't matter, what is this – Trading, relationship, extreme or drugs. If such a line of behavior is consistently traced in a person and he cannot get away from this point in any way – it is necessary to decide, what's wrong inside a person, why? And trading here, in principle, is already a sideline, since the player's life itself can go downhill.

  Sentiment for today.

Everything should be in moderation: emotions, drive, extreme. And trading – it's different. It has nothing to do with the game..

shl. All, who wrote to me in the last days in the mail I answered. But since there were problems with the mail server, someone's letters did not reach me, or the answers did not go. If it happened – knock again, seems to have already configured everything and there should be no failures.
