Aloha im back.
Ive been reading the book i bought on thursday that arrived friday called ''the 7 deadly sins of trading''.
The best fuking book out there for ALL traders no matter how good you think you are.
And from reading it over the weekend ive learnt ALOT.
The main things being that te reason i kept having so many problems last week was absoluteky nothing to do with me ''not being a skilled trader!!''.
The completele opposite infact!
I AM AN EXTREMELY SKILLED TRADER!! IVE PROVED THAT TO MYSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE ON HERE AND T2W OVER THE LAST 4MONTHS WITH EM MAKING CONSISTENTLY HIGER % PROFIT OF MY CAPITALTHEN ANYONE ELSE ON THE SITE + MAKING SO MANY EXTREMELY ACCURATE LIVE CALLS!!
The reason i was having so much trouble last week was because i had forgotten how skilled i am though,
and so instead of being happy at myself for makng so much for all the other weeks and making £600 (28% profit on my capital on monday), i started to get angry and actually punish myself for ''failing to gamble''.
Just becaus eif i had gambld id have made even more money.
And so then on tuesday when i did listen to my punishment and did gamble, and then i lost money because of that i just shouted and physically punished myself even more (even though i had done nothing wrong except listen to myself!)
Next day i was patient, shoud have gambled, more punishment.
Thursday i tried patience again, still fuked me over. more punishment.
So friday i still try patiemce and wiat for my pefectly placed sell order, get fuked off, so gamble, go into loss, take loss, what was order hits hit as teh day hgh, i get more fuked off, and so more punishment.
Finally in the end i got back to normal, started traidng, and as a result im holding a £3 sell from 93.56, oil now under 91.80!!
So almost £700 up so far.
And then i had also fallen into the trap of greed...
100ticks wasnt enough, 200ticks not enough, i wnated 300 t 400ticks per trade.
And as a result i had turned down cashing in on £100 -£200+ trades.
That was because i had gotten very mixedup betwen being a scalper or being a swing trader..., when infact im neither.
Im an OPPORTUNIST trader.
So i simpl sit and wait for great opportinities, and then when they come il hold them for minutes or even days depending on how long the opportunity lasts.
But so from this week ive learnt form the book, and im no longer gna punish myself for not gambling!
Nor am i gna get angry at myself for closing a trade to early in profit at a support level, as just like everyone else i have no way of seeing int the future, and so its just ridicuous getting angry at myself for only being human! lol
