It's our recorded subsconcious mind which does it but can be reprogrammed. There is so much shit in there coming from the past which makes human a worst possible thing to be a trader.
Thank you for making me feel a lot better knowing even professionals have drawdowns. I still have nightmares about 2000-03 and 2007-09. Good thing I was too stupid to quit.
Thank you, those numbers are great food for thought about what success can look like for different traders. Wish you and your family a great Thanksgiving holiday.
If curious, my own figures are: 23.4% on $605K $142k a year with 19.4% vol We don't do Thanksgiving in the UK, but thanks for the sentiment. GAT
No. It’s the realization that markets can change faster than you can adjust (assuming you can even adjust to the change).
This is just only what may and will happen. But why do you worry and be afraid is the question. There is no reason for that. Because it comes from learned habits in your subconscious mind. No matter how hard you decide to not to worry about but you still do it until you can/learn to reprogram things in there. This hidden mind is an extremely powerful thing in you and controls normally over 90% of your daily life.
