Okay here is a thing to learn, for all the new traders here. I had this problem with me initially when i started trading, ofcourse y not, am a human too.
When i say and keeps on stressing 'following a trading plan is the only way' to become one of those lucky 10% ones who makes millions while the remaining 90% regret to the thought why they even started trading, I MEAN IT. For me trading consistanly a proven trading plan is EVERYTHING.
here is a best example. Lets say we are in some trade and we are in a profit but our targets are not hit yet, trades bounce baks and ends up as a loser, stops us out. Now does that mean we need to change our trading plan??Improve it, start looking for new things, new methods, new idea and new indicators?? easy to say, hard to do, but let me tell u (i know beacuse i been there too), that such kind of distractions can simply ruin ur career as a trader. U need to realize that although following the trading plan, we did miss those winner trades which we got stopped , the same trades which were giving us some money earlier, but hey, we were just following our trading plan! Gota do what it says, Its the same plan which makes us money daily, makes us look proud of ourselves. For me following a trading plan is akin to following words of Bible! Ofcourse if u want to, u can just fool around whole your life, but in the hearts of hearts we know that whatever written there in Bible makes sense no matter what!
I may sound a little crazy, but I am only tryna stress here to follow the trading plan, write it down in a paper, back test it, watch it live for a month or so, approve it, and give it a shot without deviation! THE ONLY HOLLY GRAIL IN TRADING.
