my ego bothers me the most. if my wife said I could not do a better job in trading, I will trade my ego and I lose if my friends said they made big bucks in trading, I will trade my ego again and I lose if my pre-determined stop loss was token out by some abnormal noises then late on it proves my initial judgement, I will trade my ego in the next trade, trade against the market (it seems to tell the market I am right) I lose if I said I want to make XXX money a day, and I did not reach it, I trade my ego again and I lose... ah my ego
Leaving money on the table or knowing i should have taken a trade but didnt. Also having two or more losses in a row pisses me off. good thing it dont happen much.
When you finally think you figured it all out... The market reminds you that your are a complete idiot... So what bothers me the most? Having to get a bullshit job again to support my trading habit...
I'll tell you what bothers a trader most, knowing when to exit a trade yet not being in front of a computer to exit your trade. That will piss you off the most 100% guaranteed.
It's not what I lose it's what i leave on the table after the WIN that gives trouble. i know this isn't good, work in progress to overcome
