Just venting a bit....Frustrated with myself....Felt as though I have been trading for 3-5 years...but realized has only been a little over 2 years...Funny not funny, don't know if others have felt this way too... as though since the world pandemic occurred I have difficulty with time frame recollection, such as this...thinking I have been trading for more years than I actually have been. I know I have improved statistically speaking atleast. I know at one point I was only 25% green on my trades. For the majority of this year I have been 40/48% green on my trades. I know that is improvement. Much of it has been from learning myself to stop watching so many other traders, as that only built up my fomo. And lead me to follow others suggestions/watchlist. Now dont get me wrong. It was great to start learning patterns. I know I still have much to learn, but I do find that if I look at other "watch list" or look at what others are identifying as hot sectors. Doing so I start to look at trades differently, doubt myself, revert to following others. I have also noticed that I was doing much better buying the dip/buying into fear and selling into greed for small 5% profit on the trade with tight 1.5% risk. Somewhere in the past couple of months I have reverted back into buying into greed just as I was before. I dont know which frustrates me more. The falling back into what I know is not statistically successful for myself, the feeling of failure..feeling as thought I should be trading more profitable by now. The feeling as though all the studying I have done, did i do it wrong. Was I not open minded enough and not truely learn helpful information. Do I not want this bad enough...Am I striving for something unattainable, unrealistic? I know this is all sef think/doubt/talk etc. Again I am just venting, ego vomiting if you will...
