놓친 수익보다 지켜낸 원칙이 더 소중하다 🧘‍♂️

Just let it go. Think about it, tomorrow is another opportunity and even the days after that. There is always money to be made at any time. Focus on what you can do right now and let what ‘could have been’ go

I've been trading gold futures since October. Of course it sucks when you don't catch the whole move. The point is to be consistent over time. The market will be open tomorrow. My monthly P/L just hit 30k and I only really had one really really good timed trade. The others, just happy that I net more than I lost. This is how daytrading works. You will not be as efficient as the guy that's just been holding gold and silver this entire time.

if your strategy said to take profits, you didn’t miss out on anything. Ive been trading gold for 5 years and i learned to only take 75% profits with buy/sell stops with associating lot sizes. only take partials if its following the trend and build an H4 system to set profits targets on the higher time frame. Today I entered a long position took 75% profits and it ran all the way to 5600 and I finally took the full profits. I made $100 from the original position and another $200 from the runner all from $50 risk.

I've been dealing with this same headache. I'm just starting to get my toes wet in active trading. I've messed with stocks, currently playing with currencies. Trying to get more comfortable with swing trading as well, trying to let runners run longer.

The whole concept of Stop Loss and Take Profit points is killing me. What if I enter a trade at $5 a share. I think it will go to $6 a share. I set my TP there, and my SL at say, $4.50 a share, for a 1:2 RR. I see so many people saying to just let the trade play out, don't stress it, worry free. It will either hit or it doesn't. So let's say I leave it alone. It gets to $5.95 a share, never triggers my TP, then dumps, and triggers my SL. All of that profit gone, and now I've got a loss instead of a measly 95% of my profit target.


I might be dumb and just not thinking about this right. But I am struggling with coming to terms with dealing with this aspect of the trading game. Does anyone have any advice?

Indiana, let it go.

Never regret always try to leave a runner pull profits and keep 1 .
Happy trading 😃
