Anyone else self-sabotage?

  1. It’s demonic. Steer clear of the occult horoscopes, Tarot cards, Ouija boards etc. if you have any of these items in your house, get rid of them immediately and you will see an improvement right away.

    i’m sure you heard the saying the “The devil made me do it”

  3. Jesse Livermore’s Demons got the better of him when he opened his mouth, shoved a gun in it and pulled the trigger.

    Yup that would be a typical stock standard response from a christian "the devil made me do it". Simple thinking from simpletons.

    Refer to the link from ET...

    i like how people who never had to deal with a specific mental problem always the ones posting "sure way to deal with that problem" so easy just do this and that because i read this book once that said it was so easy...
    its like people without kids giving advice to parents on how to parent properly.

    I like Sea + Ski Suntan Lotion+ the Flip Wilson commercial for Sea + Ski ''the devil made me do it!!'' did not keep me from using it . NOR was he ,the reason I liked it.
    666] IF some keep doing stupid stuff risk like driving drunk+ speeding;
    can he blame the devil or distilled spirits ??
    Doesnt matter because no judge or insurance co with common sense is going to let him off with no penalty. Law of averages matters also.
    A 6.66' foot fake mouse may not be the best advisor LOL:D:D
    777] Every loser has an excuse; winners take responsibility;
    I target shoot for thrills /not trade for thrills, even though yes\ I enjoy it.

  7. Absolutely, I used to self-sabotage all the time in forex trading. I'd overthink every move, second-guess my strategies, and let emotions drive my decisions. It's tough, but recognizing the pattern is the first step to overcoming it. Now, I focus on sticking to my plan and keeping a clear head, and it's made a world of difference. Hang in there!

    Yeah, that inner voice can be brutal! Even when you’re on top of your game, it sometimes kicks in and makes you do something totally off-script. It’s a common issue and definitely part of the mental side of trading.

    You’re not alone—lots of traders wrestle with this. It might help to stick closely to a written trading plan and set strict rules for yourself to keep those hasty decisions in check. Stay disciplined and keep working on your mental game!

  9. Hello, OP, I couldn't figure out how to send you a DM, so please see the attached PDF. I hope this helps you gain clarity if nothing else.

    It's not self sabotage but a lack of experience.
    You just need more training.
