Hi,
Sorry to hear that you're having difficulties with this. I, myself, had this problem some time back, and let me tell you, it's bothersome, so I know your fruion. However, I managed to conquer this, and things have been very good ever since.
So here are some suggestions that I have:Produce a system that has risk management built into itWhat I mean by this is that you should develop or learn a system in which the stop loss and take profit is currently defined. For me, this was learning the supply and demand method. With that method, you can put your stop loss right outside of the zone and have your take profit to the next zone. Usually this lead to 2:1 up to 5:1 transactions, plus they had a fairly high winning ratio. Work on trader's plogyIn my personal experience, I believe that the markets are way more mental than you believe. Much less analytical. I state this because when it had been all about being intelligent and smart and discovering patterns where nobody else can, a lot of folks would be professionals. However, that's just not the case 99% of the time, so the trader's mentality is quite important. Markets are arbitrary, yes, you can learn what pushes them, but still they're fairly arbitrary. The definition of arbitrary from Dictionary.com is: moving, created, or happening without definite aim, motive, or pattern. There's not any definite pattern to the markets. So get used to it, lose the pride, and allow losses occur. Accept losses No one is perfect, only let it happen, but make sure that you handle those losses responsibly.
Hope that helped or lacked some ideas and thoughts in someone's brain.
Thanks,
Sunny
