I don’t know about you guys, but these things make me so angry that I’m off for today. I go long on the Dow Jones, place my stop loss and take profit on the daily high. I go on to something else when I hear the classic DRIN of the metatrader when the trades close, I run to the station and see my take profit violated and the market skyroketing I immediately open twitter to understand the reason, read Trump’s tweets and understand.
This bad feeling is called regret, it’s one of the negative emotions a trader has to live with. I closed a great trade, the best one of the month, but the little voice says: if I hadn’t put that take profit I would have done double, damn double! Not 10% more, 100% more!
Patience, I turn everything off and that’s enough for today, there is no more psychological serenity, I go to drink the beer deserved or consolatory? This is trading…
