    I didn't know about that. I did some quick research, and it sounds good to me. If you have any suggestions or advice about that, please mention it here. Thank you so much.

    I greatly appreciate your time because you answered my question in great detail. I am aware that I require additional details about that. I should look around more.

    Good day, Kmiklas Thank you for visiting. It must be a big deal for every trader at the beginning of their trading career. I'm very happy I raised this topic here and got such wonderful responses. With regard to your number 1 mentioned here, there is just one thing I don't understand.

    Interesting, hmmm. Do you mean I have to create a check list for my trades?
    How do I go about making that?

    The one thing I recommend each trader do is have a written plan.
    For whatever reason you are more likely to follow a written plan than if you just have a plan in your head.
    I call it an operators manual and it should answer the question "What do I do now?"
    My checklist has all the criteria that must be met before I enter a trade. I shared some of them in post #54

  8. Hello eleanorK80,

    Well I learned by trading everyday and taking losses and taking wins.

    And everything you are saying, is what us trader go through.

    I like @deaddog approach of having a plan in place on handle wins and losses and stay objective on track to trading. Because emotions, stupid trading, regret trading, fearful trading, I wanna give up trading WILL indeed come. You can not run from anything you are feeling.

    All you can do is embrace it and plan for it and battle it, a plan helps reduce this things, so you remain in control.

    Example: you buy AAPL, and it goes up 1%. You buy _more_.

    I consider myself to be a writer of all things.particularly significant things, such as trdaing. I set aside a notepad solely for recording trading information.
