          I have a great system but, having a small account I tend to move my stops too close and never get the big runs. I keep grinding my account down due to small gains and commissions.

            Best way I have found to do this is. Just think of it as already being gone.
            Hard to make money trading scared. If you take risk you might get the reward.

            Hope it helps

    “B” – mostly; getting better though; generally the big losses result from following someone’s suggestions without studying and/or commitment of my own. Starting to do my “own thing” w better results; now I need to increase my “baby steps.”

      Sorry to hear that. You might want to take some time off and get your head clear.
      I always like to own other businesses for other cash flow and wealth.
      That way I don’t have to make all of it from trading it helps take some of the pressure off.

      Try this book for the Martial Stress:

    Can I add a category? Category D which is actually C but after blowing out an account with C I haven’t made a trade in over a year. I paper trade every day and on paper I look great, but when I go to place a real trade I’m fearful and can’t seem to pull the trigger. I’m taking your bond course tomorrow night and think that might be a good market for me to get over my fears. What do you think?

      Fear of pulling the trigger is a real problem for lot of traders.
      there is an exercise you can do to get over it quicker and decrease the chances of it coming up again.

      Yeah bonds are great for small Risk which should help.

      Thanks for taking the course. Remind me and I will do the drill in the course.

    I use to suffer mainly from A as I never initiate a position without a stop loss. I do NOT do day trading any more as I think it doesn’t much my personality. Recently in the past few months I have been mainly swing trading and I’m just at the break even point. Hopefully my next step is to take consistent profits from the market.

    I suffer from mainly A:. My problem now, is that I have stopped trading ,due to fear. My account has not grown for years and I have spent tons of time in the computer. I want to see financial gain, I want to make money , to pay for my webinars, site subcriptions, and some left to grow the account and take some pay for my personal needs. I just want to learn 3 bread and butter trades, master them, like the back of my palm.

    Hubert… I’m trying to give up day trading because I suffered from “A” and was getting killed on commissions. So, I’ve tried to switch to a more swing trade approach… and it’s turned into “C”.

      I prefer to swing trade. So I think your on the right track.
      I still day trade but tend to make more swing trading.

      As far as Commissions what do you trade look at leasing a seat.

    For about 2 one month periods over 5 years of trading, I was a “B”. Mostly it’s “A” with some “C” thrown in. I seem to be able to find unexpected black swan events every other week that blow through support or resistance points like butter. I have yet to see a small profit that could have turned into a bigger one to let run. Seems like I get about 1-2 hours at best with a very small profit before all hell breaks loose. Stops are used and they usually are hit “to the tick” before reversal. It doesn’t matter where they are put – far away or close – all are hit before any profit so I can’t raise them once it might get in the green. I now just put them a few ticks away on entry in order to minimize damage. If it’s going south, I want out NOW. Went to your Chicago seminar 3 years ago but I guess nothing stuck. I’ll keep trying!!

    Used to be an A then graduated to B then made it all the way to C then back to A to start the cycle over. But now I’m on to none of the above which is looking at a platform full of indicators and doing nothing because the pain (emotional and financial) endured from years of A, B, and C trading keeps me from taking action. It only costs me a $125 a month to pretend trade at TradeStation which is less than I was losing by actually taking trades. It cost about the same as cable and is much more entertaining.

    A
    The problem with choosing to daytrade and/or swing trade is that they are two different disciplines.
    If you daytrade, you have to trade a short enough timeframe to be able to see the actual movement of the price, right now and take a few Ticks.
    If you swing trade you are looking at a fixed pattern on the chart or a Fib level that is not moving. I consider any price that is not moving to be a 50/50, coin flip trade. The reason is because you are not psychic. You are trying to predict which way the price will go and keep a large stop. So, if you are not good at predicting then you will suffer the patterns of losses that Hubert described.

The reason I didn’t stop is because of the winners I had at the onset of my trading. I figured the loosing streak would stop just as it started. I was wrong.

    quite frankly, only been trading bonds for several months (thanks to you for introducing me to bond trading) and I am ahead. I keep my stops at 5 ticks on the 30yr, and if I’m ahead by 20+ ticks, I start moving my stop closer to the price to retain profit. I did have a month of trading like A but was able to keep my losses small so recouped what was lost in the first week of the next month. I’m having fun but it is an adrenaline rush when you’re in a trade. My problem is overtrading – hard to stay out.
