Risk management techniques

When I started trading I had discipline issues. Once I took the time to write out a trading plan and focused on following the plan, things got better.
Watching the total portfolio value rather than each trade also helped.

Interesting! actually I have discipline issues now. can you guide me and help me to get over it?
 
Not really. How should I start?
Write down how you are going to trade.
It's a manual to guide someone else how to trade your system.
It should answer the question "What do I do now?".

You have money you want to risk in the market. What is the first thing you should do, what next? It should be a series of If/Then scenarios; If this happens, then do this.

It seems like you should be able to write this in a couple of hours. Chances are if you can be bothered, it will take a few days if not a few weeks. Most can't be bothered and have to answer the question "what do I do now?" when they are in the middle of a trade under a lot of pressure.

Plan your trade. Trade your plan!
 
I just lost a lot of money on this. I can't get rid of losing positions and I keep them till it's too late.
