DislikedAn excellent real world lesson here in staying calm, focused and disciplined. You are seeing the benefits of not loosing your head. You could easily give all your wins back plus more if you were not so disciplined throughout your trading day. Do you think you are so controlled in your execution because you have fully accepted that if you trade as you have planned you will come good in the end? Or are you so controlled because of the pain of past losses? Maybe a combination of the two or something else? Or are you controlled because you are...Ignored
Some times I'm more "disciplined" than others.
I'm a completely different trader today than I was before because I don't hold losses for over 1000 pips as I used to.
There was a time when I was not holding losses for 1000 pips but still holding it for lets say 100 pips which was still unacceptable.
Today in a very bad day when mediocrity creeps in really bad I hold losses for 15 or 20 pips maximum.
I'm still evolving as a trader and all those six years my huge margin call and all the money lost over my learning curve comes to my mind and keep me from letting my losses go too far.
Actually this journal here is helping me, believe you or not.
It is an extra accountability, so it keeps me in the defensive, more focused and alert because I have to come here and make public what i did.
So, you think you have rights? LOL
