Mindset between a losing trader and a winning trader
Mindset of a losing trader
When i win:
•[self praise] Wow! I am good.
•[over confidence] Look at me. Trading is easy.
•[ego and boastful] I am going to tell my friends, my family, my dog and pet hamster how much $$$ i made yesterday.
When i lose:
•[blames the market] &%#^$* What is wrong with them markets?!?! You are going in the wrong direction!!
•[blames the tipster] Why did i listen to that lousy guy? He made me lose money.
•[pride] I am never ever going to cut my losses. It may turn around. I am buying more since it is cheaper now.
