How many of you traders hoot and holla after a good trade?

Most people will be happy after a winning trade. There are some people who actually LIKE losing money (gamblers in a way)

What's important is how you deal with losing trades and winning traders. If you realize that its just ONE trade in a series of many others then each trade should just be "a trade" and nothing more.
 
Ha ha! I've never hooted or holla'd but I feel darn good when I make the tough, but right decision-- for PROFIT or LOSS. As long as emotions aren't tied to P/L I think you're fine.
 
Quote from R. Raskolnikov:

neither. emotions get in the way, trading robotically is much more effective. I've developed this after many years, it doesn't come naturally for the great majority.

How can you post this in less than 60 seconds, after the thread is started?


Are you a magician? :p
 
When I am alone, it is emotionless other than a smile or frown, but when I'm at the office on the trade desk, we (as in all the traders at my shop), do the Howard Dean scream as our celbration for a big hit.

It's the part at the 19-second mark!

Shouldn't you progressively increase your size (as you have more money to throw around), so that your wins are getting bigger and bigger, thus making bigger "touchdowns" (which is cause for celebration)?

Or are you happy just trading 1 lot for the rest of your life?
