Here's what happened:
The past few days have been wild, psychology-wise. A losing streak (no biggie for my level 😂😎) followed by missed setups that went on to make good runs, and some weak decision-making.
One of the most notable ones was when I saw a
$INJ short setup, 9x, took it, and the next time I checked, I started praying to God 😎 (amateur move).
That's when I realized that, even though I've been trading for a while now, I'm still learningabout and developing on my trading psychology.
The trade hit 5x before retracing. // Funny how I doubled my risk on this setup for a crazy reward// After the retrace, I took a smaller position for 6x, which then reversed.
Now, here's the tricky part:
Both positions ended as a break even (small profit) because the platform (
@WEEX_Official) merged both trades and changed my entry point.
The first setup would have been the single trade with the highest monetary value based on the RR and account size I've ever taken in my trading career, and the second would have been a 1x loss.
There were many more like that this week that I could have gotten good rewards on.
Nothing pains more than a clear oppurtunity missed.
The only intresting news this week is that I broke my RR record again this morning with a stunning 10.7x
$ETH trade. the trade was executed yesterday
TRADING ISN'T CHILDS PLAY. DON'T LET ANYONE SUGAR COAT IT FOR YOU
It's today that I finally accept that I still don't have maximum control over my emotions and outcomes in trading.
And I believe that's what trading does to a trader.
One gets to know the level of their psychology based on the challenges they get to overcome
