만족하지 못하는 내 트레이딩 마음가짐 바꾸는 법🤔

Post-nut clarity. Every time you catch yourself thinking about something stupid, go to the bathroom immediately and violently beat your meat. Repeat until common sense returns. If not, every day for summer...

I’m the same way, honestly what I do is once I make a profit on my live account I switch to a paper trading and trade there. I’m in front of a computer all day for work and I find trading more fun than work so hard for me to just close the browser and be done for the day. Still gives me practice and screen time but man it’s hard to pass on a good setup so that takes some self control to not switch back to the live account

Next time you are up remember that you gave it back before. A you really want to risk doing it again. That was enough for me to learn how to walk away. The next you’ll feel good that you walked away. It will bug you the entire but the next day you’ll feel good

It's normal to be pissed, but once you gave back a little stop and regroup. You can call it a day and count yourself a winner. A way to look at it is I'm green and others are red so I'm grateful. Pat yourself on the back and relax, another green day in the record books, and then relax!

If you’re happy with $1,500 next time you’re up higher than that, turn off your computer and walk away. Discipline is key

I had a similar issue. Once I put a time constraint to my trade session, keeping what I've earned improved drastically

Nothing is wrong with you. You are measuring success by peak profit instead of execution. Lock a daily goal and stop trading once hit. Consistency builds satisfaction

I struggle with this from time to time as well. Particularly today. I thought the market was going to continue in a down trend after I nailed my exit and should have been done. It’s a constant battle but one thing that a seriously helped me is shifting my mindset to what I like to call an offensive state where I’m trying to scrape every dollar I can out of the market to a defensive state where my main goal is to make my account bigger than the day before. Sometimes I catch myself in a winning trade thinking that I need to hold longer than I really should to bleed every ounce of profit out of it but that has burned me too many times in the past so I just try to think “defensively”. Sorry for the massive run on sentence lmao

I would say time combined with keeping memory of what it feels like to mess this up. It’s pretty frustrating and it can be disappointing. Reward yourself when you do the right things. Changing who you are is difficult when it’s a deep part of yourself that’s pulling the trigger. You actually don’t know when to stop so it’s smart to have a hard cap on what you’re allowed to make. Sure you could have made more, but you’re not going to make more the prime opportunity passed. That’s why you were able to hit your safe limit. It’s about behavior over time. This is a self sabotaging behavior that we don’t want to feed time.
