Tips on How to free yourself from Fear & Greed

  • Have a trade plan and stick to it.

  • When you trade, have ZERO things that show your account balance ever. If you see no $ value on the chart you will think rationally, rather than emotionally and will trade what the chart is telling you.

DAY 29 - FEAR, GREED & EGO

We always fight our hidden demons, weaknesses, 'know it better', FEAR & GREED. Those two plus one's EGO can lead to self destruction of a trader. Big leverage, rush and greed will put you crying in a fetal position one day and it's not a pleasant experience.

I fear myself. Either I will go crazy. Or greedy. Otherwise no problem. But Now I am going not only Professional but also Exponential. ))))) Still working out the Practical Plan. I will be completely free in Feb. Then my strategy would be to Scare the markets not myself. How ? Come with 100. Go with 500. Or give away the 100. So mathematical chances are that generally I will win.

Being Ultra Picky or Overcautious - Does it Help ?

But when a retail trader try to apply that same strategy in live market environment and forward test it, they fail to achieve similar results and in fact they hardly make any money. Why is that ?
In my opinion,
trading say 4-5 setups per month is going to lead to increased pressure on each trade and thus increases the chances of making an illogical deci
