Disliked{quote} Interesting. Can you elaborate on that? Do you tend to exit too early or too late? Getting out too early is a typical symptom of feeling uncomfortable with money on the line while being too late is often easier fixable by baking a more straightjacket-like exit approach into the strategy.Ignored
I think this quote resemble a bit what i meant: after i open a trade i seem to lose the lucidity and it can happen either that i close the trade too soon or i keep it open when i shouldn't (this happens mostly when i try to recover a previous losing trade). And this is valid for both TP and SL.
Though i don't feel too bad when i close it early (it's still profit), what it makes me a bit angry is when i reduce the stop loss to reduce an eventual loss and i get stopped out just before the markets move in my favor (i know it happens to every one but i still can't get over it).
I often try to think about what makes me feel like this and i guess it's because of the past experiences that accumulated and developed my behaviour because i never had a guide/mentor and i had to learn by my previous mistakes.
I still need to learn how to control emotions properly (which probably is the hardest part of trading).
Don't get me wrong, i'm doing not bad overall and kinda successful but i'd really like to not struggle so much all the time during trading.
