Emotions

Self reflectionThe past couple of days has seen EURUSD hit my POI and start to bounce off and head towards my target. While this is nice, the downside is that I have not yet been able to position myself into this trade. This video is just about my emotional state at this moment and some takeaways I need going forward. Initially this was meant to be a private video but in the spirit of transparency and just wanting to be held more accountable to myself I decided to make it public.

How to Create a Trading Plan for Trading Success! Hey Traders so I figured because it's a new year why not start the year off right by setting us up for success. Having a trade journal or Trading Business Plan may be one of the most overlooked aspects of trading. However in my opinion it will separate those who are successful from those who are not. Trading is a game of probabilities and odds. Mistakes made are sometimes be very costly. Sticking to your trading plan along with money mangagement will allow us to survive the storm that we may face in the event of a drawdown. Also when we are up and riding the wave it will keep us from letting Fear, Greed and Hope getting in the way of profits. Enjoy, Trade Well Clifford

The Psychology Of Trading, Fine Line Between Success And FailureMost traders experience similar thoughts patterns and emotions on the charts. your psychology and your mind-set represent 70% of your trading performance. So smart thinking and discipline is more important than your strategy. That's why controlling it is what makes you profitable and successful. Range of emotions that can impact your trading: 1- Doubt: It comes after some losing trades you start doubting your knowledge and everything you know. Fight that feeling as much as you can trust your judgment and trust yourself. 2- Fear: Also comes after some losing trades and risking too much. the best way to fight this emotion is that you should be comfortable with what you are risking and if you feel uncomfortable LOWER YOUR LOT SIZE. 3- Revenge: An emotion that exist since the stone age. after your stop loss is hit you want to take a revenge from the market and get back your money. Well you should not take it personally at all and you should convince yourself that in the market anything can happen. "Main Tip" WHILE TRADING LEAVE YOUR EMOTIONS AT THE DOOR

The dangers in listening to the newsI'm sharing a chart to give my sentiments about listening to the news. New traders especially tend to listen to the news and website opinions about where markets are heading. I show a bit on how I approached a particular situation on the US30. A lot of news is late and people who create news items or blogs have their own biases, based on the information they have. The news can be dangerous to trading as it can cause a trader to become apprehensive, doubtful and stay out of trade setups that may be quite sound for entry. News can be depressing and cause a trader anxiety. Some very important earthshaking news may be useful e.g. some major monetary policy change in Europe or America. But on the whole, listening to or reading news is fraught with problems. I've found that I make better decisions when I approach the markets with a kind of fearlessness described by Mark Douglas . The fearless state of mind is not 'recklessness'. It is about calmly making decisions and accepting risks in a reasonable way, based on a tested strategy. None of the above or the video is advice to traders.
