Thank you very much @lis22!
I am extremely happy you have found your ways.
Yes, make trading simple. Dont over think too much. Dont make trading more complicated than it already is.
Just be disciplined. Be patient. Be stealthy.
And, dont ever be greedy.
Consider this always, if you happen to hit a homerun and or catch a whole move. Great. This is just a bonus for the day, added with some lucks.
In trading, our own emotions are often, the biggest reason why we fail. This is not a hoax or something nonsense. Not something all traders should ignore, especially us, the little retailers.
Market is rigged, manipulated. It is a known thing. It has been since the dawn of time. All to aim at retailers' emotions.
Fear & Greed & Hopes.
Fear of missing out on trades. Fear of entering trades due to many losses. Trading paralysis is a real deal.
Just a tick more, you say to yourself. Yeah, a tick more then only to watch your whole profit gone in a split of a second. Only because you wanted, just a tick more.
Holding and keep holding on to a losing trade, then adding and adding more contracts to it, hoping to at least break even, or for your trade to turn around. Only to dig yourself into a much bigger hole.
And these 3 are quite plenty enough to crush you to your knees.
And, we are not even talking about other vital stuff such as over trading, over sizing, risk management...
