I hope you all had a good weekend.
Volatility is slowly creeping up, for how long, who knows…
In this post, I’d like to share 10 quick trading tips that will help you stay out of trouble this week.
I’m sure you’ve heard of ego trading…
This week, I’d like to talk about money and why it shouldn’t be your primary goal.
I know this sounds paradoxical… after all, we’re in this field to make money and improve our lives in one way or another. But please hear me out as I will pinpoint the very reason why people fail to be consistent in trading.
I can’t repeat it enough: Losses are part of trading! They will happen, often when you least expect it.
The challenge is to learn to accept this reality without allowing feelings of disappointment and grievances to carry on and turn into irrational fears.
Did you ever stop and notice what goes on in your mind when you’re trading – the kind of thoughts and feelings that arise?
Over the course of our lives, we run across all types of adverse situations.
Some examples might include you losing your job; you’re backstabbed by a member of your inner circle, your love interest rejects you, you lose a good chunk of your capital in the market.
Most of those situations have the potential to make us wiser, but notice how easy it is for them to instead make us bitter.
My goal here at Trading Composure is to help show people what trading is all about – it’s not just about trading systems, analysis, and risk management. There’s also a mindset component to it all that too many people ignore.
And because they ignore it, they never really get to a point where they can deliver predictable results in the market.
The market is a risky and uncertain place.
Of course, this probably won’t prevent you from being attracted to it and from wanting to trade it.
And, for good reason — in general, hiding under your bed to avoid risky decisions is not an ideal way to live life. What’s more, we all know that risk can also imply opportunity. So, risk is not always a bad thing.
