  3. because a loser can win some sphathy from others or friends. just like a diabled, everything needs others, actually he/she can do most chores by her/himself.

    a loser simply can make life easier.

    I picked bootom at ZN at 125'130, I want to dump at 125'055. because my fear of continueing loss is gone, feel a relief. easier.

    but I know it can not go to zero and I boght it pretty cheaper. almost a no brain.

    I know ZN painted a double bottom at 125'050 and 125'100. the next thing is just buy whether it drops or go up,but I can not resist selling it when it dips a little bit. oh, yes, the fear of losing
    when itgoes higher, Iwant to buy again, then it dips again, I sell low again. pretty much a loser's game.

    that is how a loser becomes a loser. I know it. each time, when I want to become a winner,I just ignore myfear, and I gain.

    We are losing traders because of our weak mindset. Thus, change your attitude for your better.
