I think that trading should not be seen as a competition, it is very difficult to reach the level of a whale, for some traders when they lose they do not say it, because they fear that they may see them as a failure, but the losses are normal, what must be done is Trying that the gains are greater than the losses is not a reason for shame.
95% of traders lose, technical analyzes fall, are invalidated and sometimes do not work, according to Malkiel Burton 85% of technical analysts fail, and fundamental analysts likewise, there must be a balance between both analyzes. I think that the main driver of loss for traders is because they believe that they will become millionaires quickly and that thinking is what leads them to failure, if traders saw trading as a business, just like traditional business traders do, Traditional business profits are seen at 3 years, with hard work, the difference with trading is that the profit can be seen quickly.
In failure is a natural thing because in trading there are always profits and failures so if the trade is associated with competition it is a big mistake we don't have to reach the whale which we need is enough profit every time we trade.
We can combine analysis and some of the techniques that we come across I think we can see the difference where we will reduce the failure at least with technical analysis we can break up what previously could not be solved, whatever in trading we must be able to see what happens and conditions how the market or even can see in some people is important in his words but which class balance is the main thing that we must maintain.
Key here is that you shouldnt rush up on making profits because everything would really comes next if you do able to do the right way.Experience is the best teacher and
those mistakes are learning stones for you to make yourself a better trader.Its just on how you do make out or set goals according to the path or career your are taking.
Frustration and regrets is there and its normal but doesnt mean that these things will completely block you off into your trading career.
Start small and try to make it big but not on a forceful way.
In my little experience I have managed to make a method that is very effective in trading, it consists of:
-Make a maximum of 3 trades.
-If I lose with 1 trade, with the other trade I recover and have a positive balance.
-If I lose both trades, with the third I recover and stay the same or something else.
-If I lose the 3 trades, I simply assume my loss and change my plan, I do not bother to enter but I try to see where I failed, the market is benevolent, it always gives entries with good opportunities.
I never allow myself to lose 10%, if I lose it is the maximum 8%, and if I win I make my trade x3, that is, if my stop percentage is at 8% my take profit must be at 24%.
I always see trading as a business and not as to become a millionaire, although that is what is sought, everything must go at a safe pace.
