Thread: What makes You lose in the market?

  1. #1
    Hi trader fellows,
    I wish to discuss with you about that which makes us to lose in the market - trading egy (low/high timeframe, setup or trigger), wrong mindset for a trader etc.. .
    Analyse your charts whenever you have lost the transaction and share it with others why it happened. Can it be your own egy or other factors makes us to lose this commerce...

    I understand it doesn't exist 100% profitable trading strategy, BUT what makes us to not be profitable in the long run? Why only 5-10% of the traders create it...?

    I lost yesterday since I exchanged the same trade but it wasn't exactly the very same circumstances and that I took a shortcut out of my analysis, so would be a mental issue. I edited my own trading program, gained today.

    Mindset

    Poor money management

    lack of expertise


    A book could be written on all one of those points

    Failure to react to market fluctuations and being too stubborn to acknowledge your mistakes in trading.

    Every trading egy has its own effectiveness in different market situation.

    But the best egy implemented in the most acceptable market state can go wrong, and most traders are way too preoccupied to follow the egy and disregarded their instinct from time to time.

    I realised that it was never about looking for the best price to enter a position, but the responsiveness to market changes whenever you are in a trade makes the huge difference.

The current trade has new traders with new money with new reasons with new economic news reports. Do they think the market just repeats itself over and over?
    SRs just represent LIQUIDITY. . Nothing magic.
