High Probability Trading: Trading against the plan
This post is awesome because it points out to me one thing I know that will kill me.
Losing it, losing my cool and just blowing it.
When does trading become gambling, an addiction and not something I am doing to try to earn a living?
The answer for this to me is when I lose my cool emotionally, dont have a plan, start trading by the seat of my pants.
I made all the mistakes this evening,
Things I did really wrong.
1) I really must admit, I DONT HAVE A Trading plan
I dont have some repeatable plan that once some indicator gets flipped I execute or close a trade
2) I added to a losing position
3) I didnt set a stop.
4) dont fully understand the software a I am using.
Ok, for the next two weeks I am going to trade demo and ... I am going to post my P/L every day with a post, this I atleast I was prepared for this , I knew this wasnt going to be easy. I think I was a little cocky but I am humbled now, for now.
