Emotions in trading

Good Morning hilmy83,

Question for you please?

When a trader trade without averaging or scaling in (like Volpri is describing), what does the trader do when a trade does not work? What is his or her next step after the trade loss or when it does not work?

Thank you,

There is a tiny probability that you’re going to buy the last tick of an uptrend. There’s nothing you can do about it. Accept the loss and move on. If you take a small loss on this trade then the next might bring you to new equity high. If you lose too much then you’re going to struggle to reach new equity high. It’s up to you. Do you wanna struggle making money ?

If you don’t use stop … the probability that you’re going to make a profit is +99% but the expectancy is actually -infinity.

Hello Sekiyo,

The point I was making to @hilmy83 was:

It all does not matter. Does not matter if you selling oranges on side the highway. When you take a loss from someone steal your oranges on the highway, recover drawdown and get back to winning.

The same thing applies to trading, except the CME ES Exchange allows for a person to get rich quickly.

Just click the chart buy and sell button and make money and recover drawdown, and life is good.

It does not matter how you trade to make money and recover drawdown. Just do it. There are no rules. Just make money. I like @volpri approach and @Scataphagos to trading the market. Scaling in on Price TA and trying the best I can to hurry and get rich on the ES market. Nothing else to do.

You can not keep going in circles with all that trading rules and theories stuff or it take to long to get rich.

AND GET TO $1 Million every year before the CME ES exchange stop for good, then you can not trade ES big contracts no more, cause you keep trying all these trading theories and messing around. Hurry up and get rich.

Here is the account so far balance just doing what @Scataphagos and @volpri tell me to do. I never read no books or any of that stuff. Well I just studied brooks for awhile, now I just watch the chart only.

So do not make the life complicated. Just hurry to 100 ES contracts and do not read any more books on trading.

Good luck.

Hello Sekiyo,

What the heck does subconscious means? What does that have to do with trading the ES markets and clicking the chart? Forget these fancy trading words, they mean nothing and produce no money. Just fancy trading words to sound good. Just click the chart and trade and make the money for max of 8 hours a day and recover drawdown quickly so you can relax at night with the family or whatever in peace.

And you have to hurry up too. You do not want over learn the brain reading the trading books too much.

Just sounds like you gave up on trading without totally giving up.
That's why I hope your subconscious is doing the work.
By this I mean stuff you don't know you know.
Because "Just Click the Chart" isn't a plan.

Anyway ...

I AM DONE WITH TROLLS :D

Ps: The only trading book I'd ever read again
is How to Trade in Stocks by Livermore.

Hello Sekiyo,

Never read Livermore book. The price chart is the best book in the world to read and getting ideas from other actual traders right here on ET. why you need to read book for?
