  2. Oh that is tricky now isn't it? Keeping calm in every situation is by no means an easy feat As for me I have realized that I tend to win sometimes and sometimes I lose my patience. Guess I have a long way to go before I can achieve that kind of calm.:)

  3. What makes me angry when I trade? When I have not placed a detractor on ignore in ET.

    I can be patient but at the same time that provokes pretty significant amount of stress for me. I feel wrung out afterwards.

    Not following my tradeplan and then missing a signal.
    By default it is almost always a good signal and a big profit that I miss.
    In general I never miss a bad signal. :mad:

  10. Nothing really makes me angry when I trade. Sometimes I make mistakes; I am disappointed in myself, but try to see it as a learning experience.

    Oh wait.... Internet connection going down right after I enter a position. That makes me PISSED. Literally storming around the house in a panic unplugging and re-plugging routers etc. Then yelling at my Internet Service Provider and cancelling my subscription (yes this has actually happened)
