    How to overcome the inability to accept small losses when wrong on trades?

    I trade price levels, so time frame variables are not the consideration for me they might be for someone else. The time frame for a trade might be just a few minutes, and other times it may be 3 or 4 days. It all depends how long it takes for the market to move to my target or stop me out...

    Would it be easier to attempt 4pts with 5 contracts or 10 pts with 2 contracts trading the NQ?

    Just wondering when does a trader become a gambler?

    The outcome of any trade is random, no matter the edge. Unless you are trading a sure thing, e.g. inside knowledge of a proposed buyout, then the outcome is random. Probability does not equal outcome. With all due respect, I cannot make sense of what you mean. I will only say that anytime...
