It is very important to give yourself a realistic time frame when you are testing new systems or new markets.

Ask yourself: 

    • Do I get disappointed easily?
    • How do I deal with my disappointments?
      • Do I get mad and frustrated and let my emotions dictate what I do?
      • Do I get out of the game?
      • Do I play the blame game?
      • Do I examine what I did and tweak things to make them better?
      • Do I do a combination of all the above?
    • Do I jump from one strategy to another without giving it a fair chance?

There are many trading principles that are common among  successful rich traders. It is important to learn the things that allow them to win so we can follow in their footsteps and make money. There are 10 things that new traders can start doing tomorrow to improve their results immediately. If you have been trading for awhile but have not been profitable these  may be things that you need to start doing to stop losing money.

 1. Start trading the price action by using charts. The market doesn’t care about your opinions but the chart expresses the collective actions of all market participants. Learn to understand what the chart is saying.

Start to understand that the market determines whether any single trade wins or loses not you and not an imaginary “they”.

2. We can only surf the price waves not control them. 

Start to take 100% responsibility for your losses.

3. You enter the trade, you exit the trade, the wins and losses are yours alone. The blame game is a losing game in the markets.

Start to bounce back from losing trades quickly, move on don’t ruminate.

4. If your position size and risk management are correct no one losing trade should emotionally devastate you it should be only one of the next hundred trades with little significance by itself.

Start caring more about what the market is doing and less about what you think it should be doing.

5. ALL that really matters is current price action not your opinion of what might be price action later.  (more…)
