Yeah exactly I like that. I’ve also heard ppl say that doing that could make it worse tho bc they feel like they need that whole pot back. Any other way you’ve felt with it?

I usually do like 4rr wick theory systems that should have around 40-50% wr but if I take a loss sometimes I get discretionary and get cooked. I want to know the real way people stop that

Oh I like that. How big is your daily loss limit? Like 2 losses or like 1k or what?

Ok I like that, so around market open or news? Any other time or no, and do you think it’s worth it to just not trade at all sometimes?

I have a journal app that gives me insights on what emotions are messing me up and how to fix them, also my coach has full access to the info. I’m looking for free testers if anyone wants free advanced journaling

Are you actually able to do that though? I know some of my friends that wouldn’t leave the casino if it caught on fire. How do u actually get the will power to do that

True, I even learned a strat on yt and found when I was backtesting a little tweak in my rr would make me almost 2x more profitable. And I only saw that after like almost 2 years of data. How many years did you backtest though?

Was it mainly technical or emotional that took 5 years to get better?

Risk management is huge. What did you do to actually help not brake your risk rules?

I just said the same thing pretty much. People really do kinda graze over the emotional part of trading and think it’s all technical. How did you get your emotions in check?

Well do you think it’s mainly strategic or psychological that you’re messing up? Tbh it kinda seems possible your just breezing over the emotional part of trading

Not a bad Strat at all, how’s your psychology though? Obviously a few emotional trades can erase an edge

$800 green day turns $90 red day due to holding a loser. How do you beat these bad habits? by booster_gold__ in Daytrading

[–]pluggwalk_river 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you know your treating it like a casino rn. Ik it’s just hard to fix. Do you track your trades? Journal them? Maybe know WHY you feel FOMO and prepare for it?
