UNSUCCESSFUL vs. SUCCESSFUL TRADER

6 בדצמ׳ 2021

Unsuccessful Trader

You are trading without a Specific Trading Strategy
The main reason for opening positions for you is not clear strategy rules, but your own intuition. And even after several failures, you continue to repeat your mistakes due to the lack of discipline and the lack of a trader's trading journal.

You often over-trade and get Margin Calls
Your instincts make you trade too much, open new positions again and again, forgetting about the risk and thus getting frequent margin calls. Because of such disorderly market entries, you become very emotional, lose control and lose money quickly.

You get attached to Open Positions
Following your own emotions, you often hold on to an open position for too long, hoping that the profit will become even greater, while forgetting about the take profit that you set yourself. As a result, a profitable position becomes unprofitable, and you begin to believe and expect that it will become profitable again, overstaying the unprofitable position.

You're Too Emotional
Your mood changes with every price reversal. Forgetting about the analysis, you often open new positions and lose more than your risk management can afford.


Successful Trader

You have an Effective Trading Plan
You have written on a piece of paper a strategy of actions for any market situation and always follow the rules prescribed in the strategy. You often analyze your trades in a trade journal and always remember your mistakes and hits.

You Understand What Risk Is
You have clear rules of risk management. Even before opening a position, you know how much you can lose in this trade and do not lose more than allowed by the rules of risk management. You don't move your stop loss and you don't act emotionally.

You Control Your Emotions
You clearly follow your strategy, leaving no room for emotions. Even before opening a deal, you have analyzed everything and know exactly what to do – you have a plan of action.

You always fix a part of the profit
You do not forget to protect your capital, so you close part of the position in plus or zero, and let the rest of the position grow further. Now you will not only not lose your money, but you can also earn.
