Finally Comfortable

I saw a video on trading (not just forex) recently and one of the tips was…

  • Learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable

I thought about this long and hard and realised just how uncomfortable I was with trading and that it was causing me to lose a lot of sleep and giving me digestive problems :frowning:

So I decided to chill-out and not watch the market so much, make less risky trades, not stress if things were going backwards as I had noted that most of the time it comes right back within a couple of days and that I was throwing away good trades just before they turned in my favour.

So now since trading in a more relaxed way I have only lost on two trades and that was only due to oil trades expiring on the 25th of the month…I hadn’t traded much oil and was unaware of this glitch, but rather than viewing it as a loss I view it as a lesson learnt.

I have learnt that this is a lot more profitable to trade this way as in the last two weeks I have very nearly doubled my pot and made back my loss on the oil.
I only have a small pot but at this rate it will grow quickly (I hope) and soon support slightly larger trades. :slight_smile:

I thought that if I could benefit from that little tip then so might others.
Happy Trading :smiley:

Great! Use good money management. One of my rules, take care of your health, you can’t trade if you are dead.
