Quote from Anekdoten:
Frustration, Risk and the Acceptance of Small Losses
Nothing works all the time, I think we can all agree with this. If you don't, time to adjust cause nothing does.
With that in mind don't bet the house on any setup because we never know for sure if it's going to work or not. However, if your trading allows the runners to run, like AHG suggests, then a loser here and there should not frustrate you, not only should the loss be relatively small compared to the winners but as I said numerous times they are necessary and inevitable in profitable trading, notice what I said, profitable trading.
Losing small is ok, don't be like the rookies who just hate to be wrong, the first sign of a real trader is when you see him/her losing quite often, albeit losing small. Why ? Because it's not about being right but about making money. Feel like a broken record but some things must be emphasized over and over again.
Hope it helps.
