Common traits of people who can’t win in FX | The habit of breaking your own trades
There are enemies in trading.
Not a method.
Not the market either.
It’s a habit of breaking things.
Losing keeps happening.
I understand it in my head.
“Today I should quit.”
I think so.
In fact, I even voice it out loud.
“Let’s quit already.”
“I want to quit today.”
Still,
my hands won’t stop.
I enter trades.
I enter again.
Like possessed by something,
I keep watching the charts.
I’m not increasing lot sizes.
So I think it’s okay.
But in reality it’s different.
Back-to-back entries.
Reversing the damage.
Ignoring the plan.
That is no longer
trading.
It’s just collapse.
And later I think.
“I’m doing the same thing again.”
How many times has this happened?
Thinking that,
I end up repeating the same thing again.
Many articles say this.
Calm down.
Stand up from your chair.
Close the PC.
Step away from the chart.
Of course,
that’s true.
But in reality
it isn’t that easy.
If possible,
everyone wouldn’t be troubled.
Even if you understand,
your hands move.
Even if you understand,
you end up clicking.
That is
the habit of breaking things.
So what matters most is
not “erasing it.”
The habit is
not erased all at once.
But
there is one thing you can do.
That is
to notice early.
“Oh, this is a panic attack.”
Acknowledging that.
And
to stop at that moment.
Close the PC.
Stand up.
Step away from the chart.
That isn’t easy.
But
stopping after it breaks is
much smaller in cost.
