PLEASE READ:
- The PnL and arbitrary PnL goals you tell yourself are meaningless imo. No matter when or where you hit them, you'll always want the next one, and the next one, and the next one, it's never enough.
- You hear some experienced traders say it, but it really becomes prevalent when you experience it yourself.
- I was losing for a little over a year straight, told myself "I just want a green month" I had the green month and wasn't fulfilled. "I just want to go r/g on my profit curve", I did that and wasn't fulfilled.
- When I started finding edge through spreadsheet tracking, following a process I laid out, and traded it well; I was happy and fulfilled in these cases.
@millerruth23 thanks! Glad you liked it. Psych is def a bigger part than I realized coming into this. Just looking to share my experiences for others to look back on and know it’s part of the process or that others go through it as well. All the best
@EMTrader no problem. Glad some of it resonated. I’m def not a pro but I always wanted stuff like this from experienced traders to know the process/struggles/psych is normal. Most don’t make the vids til they “make it” but I’m glad you took something from it. Still lots to learn for me
@Windwalzer I haven’t had any experience with pdt, but I hear it’s tough. All we can do is look at our trades while we’re in them, try and understand the feelings we’re having. Certain chart patterns aren’t as prévenant right now which is also tough. But thanks for watching, we will get better over time
Thank you it's good to have someone to sound off of and keep going.
