It's better to stop desire-driven trading
There are many in the losing side, but
they already have a basic sense of the market, and what happens is they lose during the middle of the trend
Probably, the majority of traders continue with greed-driven trades
This is especially true for discretionary traders
Even more so for discretionary traders who lean toward system trading
When to stop
Stop without looking at the results, just find the point to stop
That kind of process is extremely important
Because if most people ignore these and carry over losses, they end up with a substantial negative balance
In trading rankings
The reason why averaging down trades lose so much is
Not that averaging down is inherently bad
Rather, averaging down covers up the human lack of sense
Averaging down is often likened to a devil's technique, but
I think it is relatively angelic because it covers up the parts where you are weak
However, if you think greedily, it becomes a devilish method
The tool used to cover it can be perceived as merely a profit-multiplication tool, which leads to a bad trading habit
Averaging down means
it is a covering method based on market sense
It is not something to double profits
It is the same idea as hedging; hedging does not mean doubling profits
it is simply something that covers your trading
Many traders tend to undervalue their mental state,
the mental aspect is extremely closely connected to trading
When you trade, there inevitably comes a part that must be decided by discretionary judgment
In such emerging market conditions
Greediness inevitably becomes a hindrance
Because you think “the previous market was fine” and don't cut losses on averaging down
As a result, losers who rely on averaging down stand out in trading rankings
As a factor of losing
Desire-driven trading accounts for a considerable portion
Indeed, what we want to do is
Trade × earn profit
But these are still results of “ups and downs happening repeatedly”
Therefore, even though the intention is to repeat the up-and-down results,
we end up trading in an up-and-down way without regard to desire-driven trades
As a result, they end up in a negative balance
Therefore, greediness depends on the market
If the market shows signs that are not favorable to your trades
you should cut losses and think about it
It’s like walking a tightrope with greed
Trading is a sequence of selection and rejection
To keep your mental state going, you should avoid desire-driven trades
The feeling of “I lost today, but that's fine”
is the correct mindset for traders
If you think “I must earn no matter what!”
when a market that cannot be saved appears, you will accumulate losses
By repeatedly curbing desires and repeating the ups and downs
your trading results will improve accordingly
If they don’t improve, you should raise your level of greed a bit
This is a trading concept that involves a lot of mental aspects, right?
That itself shows how closely mental state is involved for traders
