FX Pos-Pos Disease: How to Overcome

When you trade

you inevitably want to hold a position

but you don’t have to fix that

If you keep a record of the desire to hold a position as a trade log

there will be no problem

How do you manage it?

Change the size of the lot

First, enter with a small lot

Make it a daily routine

Even if you want to hold a position

and actually trade

there will be fewer problems

Small risk

Medium risk

Large risk

Stages of risk

If you control the lot size and pay attention to the following points

you can surprisingly easily overcome the need to constantly be in the market

You don’t need to eliminate the need to be in the market

Learn to get along with the urge to be in the market

Don’t always use the same position size; vary the lot size

First, try a test trade with the minimum lot of 0.01

Begin that day’s trades with a size that doesn’t hurt

Confirm that day’s feel and then increase the lot size

What you expect may come or may not; trading often involves misjudgments, so keep psychological damage and losses to a minimum

Continuing large lot trades for long periods consumes a lot of energy to sustain mentally

You can assess your own state that day and the degree to which it affects trading

Trading is best done in an environment where no one disturbs you

If you have plans that day, there’s pressure to get things done by a certain time

You cannot trade in the best condition every day; to overcome that

Changing the lot size has benefits beyond just knowing that day’s state

Introducing variability in lot size helps you maintain good judgment even after long series of trades

If you have the need to be in the market, do not trade with fixed lots

Other positive effects come from changing the lot size

Set in advance the minimum lot size, the standard size, and the size when taking risk

The need to be in the market can be cured and the illness itself can be restored to a healthy state by changing the lot size

Control of the lot size also relates to the amount of adrenaline released

Decide in advance the small, medium, and large risk sizes

With proper lot control, even with a win rate of 40%, your balance can grow

Changing the lot size improves trading accuracy

The greatest benefit of lot control is...

Not only can you see the win rate and entry/exit history, but you can objectively observe mental and physical changes and your state at the time

The benefits of lot control include improving win rate and analyzing mood and emotional changes
