I can tell you one thing, a couple of bad losses can either make you question if you suck at trading, quit, or motivate you to go back in. I had two bad losses on yesterday and it snapped my total profits by 14%. I honestly was so pissed that i turned my computer off and said i wont look at the stock market for the next week or so. But then i had to give myself a pep talk and say, "you can do this, you have been successful". "Dont let a few losers deter you". The lessons learned from these 2 losses were invaluable. I know exactly what i did wrong and what I need to do the next time around.
So what did i do this morning despite the rough day yesterday- refocus, study, and prepare like yesterday never happened. Why? Because this is what we do-trade! I can't let a couple of bad trades keep me away. Let's see if I will get back on track after yesterday. Stay tuned.
... stay focused, hungry , and humble. Even the best quarterbacks throw interceptions.
Nice one....I also lost almost all my profits today....but gotta keep "can do" attitude
