Title: "Overcoming boredom in trading" My profitable trades, are my boring trades. Seeing the wins are fun, but the trading itself is more or less boring (If I don't spend my time on other things). For me it has become pressing a button and waiting a couple weeks, rinse and repeat. Trading...

So

Correction: 15% win rate difference.

Yes, I agree. I was just curious about the likelyhood of having 50%+ win rate, it seems like it's very unlikely. Esp, for a novice trader. And I'm not the person who is willing to keep taking trade after trade for months, knowing that the odds are against me. Esp if you also know that if you had...

Ok, thank you. Then the most reasonable thing is to save up and trade conservatively. As you essentially "lose" 15% win rate. Meaning if your win rate is 40% (with 50% risk) you will go in a loss over longterm. if that risk is 1% you will profit long term. (And this is excluding the...

I used to think my edge was my ability to do TA, and read charts. But the level of TA I'm doing, most people can do by watching a couple youtube videos. So how am I then profitable? It's the mental aspect. And I believe this to be true for all profitable traders. Why? My biggest obstacle in...

Stop projecting your own failure to everyone else and open your mind. Maybe you will realise that some traders DO make good money from trade systems and then perhaps you will learn to do it yourself. Profitable systems (with the right market) can have a HUGE edge over discretionary traders as it...
