Do you know this?
You made up your mind and you analyzed the stock market, you started trading and everything goes well. You did some nice trades, gained profits a couple of times and your account is growing nicely. But then suddenly it drops. You think what a bad market this is for you and you immediately know who is guilty. It is the market. Nevertheless, it pulls up emotions and you try to fix your losses. First they are unrealized but then if your account drops further, you perhaps start to close positions. Mostly you sell the position when the pain is at its extreme. Then you feel happy for a moment, you digest your losses and you start with future plans how to fix this loss. This means, you have to make profit. You push yourself to generate profits and what happens. You lose. This is a well know death spiral of a lot of traders and investors who try to make their money with active trading in stock markets themselves.
You can avoid this
Yes, you can avoid this but this means that you have to make a change in your trading and investing approach.
- You need to reset yourself. Accept, that this approach you are using is not appropriate to earn money in stock market in a sustainable way
- Investing is not gambling. Hope is no word that we use in investing or trading
- Then start to free your mind and accept that it does not matter where stocks are moving to as long as you have a system
- Start trading systematically and use a trading system that has a proven track record and works for you
- Follow the trading strategy systematically and continously. It is not good, if you do some trades that the trading strategy tells you and some not.
- Be consistent in your money management. Invest always according to the logic of the trading system. If you are breaking out of the rules, you do not follow the rules anymore
- Stop thinking that you know the stock prices developements in the future. This is the job of the trading system.
- If you know the boundaries of the trading system and if you understand how the system works that you can feel confident, that you follow a certain investment path.
