  1. I think one should keep their mind calm and work on being patient. This will only help you to tackle situations of profits and losses.

    Nothing beats lots of practice. If your system has a low win rate but positive expectancy, you get used to losing very quickly.

    With a win rate south of 40% I have lots of practice and is very comfortable with losing trades. :D

  3. True. Also, traders should work on being disciplined enough and setting their goals in order to have good profits. When you will be dedicated to your goal, you will automatically prepare your mind for all the fluctuations that can happen. You can analyze the market first using any of the brokers available like FXTM, Turnkeyforex or eToro, then make a strategy, set your goals and trade.

  4. I am doing meditation regularly to keep my mind calm and whenever I incur loss, I take a break and then trade again. It’s very helpful

    Firstly Sit back and relax, redo your strategy, consider risk management and other areas where you’re doing wrong and further analyse the market thoroughly before making future trades.

    Yes Mr. turtle, I meant what I said. :finger:

    A method that is < 50:50 win rate with positive expectancy is actually a blessing because you do get use to losing and focus only on the big picture. Those who count cards in blackjack or play poker appreciate that.

    OK by me.
    But by me editing out 40% that let you and all know that was not my plan.
    Turtles made billions with low % rate/ so to each his own.:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool: :cool::cool: I use big picture charts/all data also.........................................................................................

  10. If I lost the ticket, I would then ask them to scan my app. Do you guys really buy tickets still?
