Why we lose money?

Then stop posting the following shit in threads where people new to trading can see it...



And then that follow up line beneath it? It is better to quit trading if someone cannot make a million + in 5 years? WTF!

Type what you mean, and mean what you type!

 

Hello Overnight,

The same applies to you.

I never understand why ET members like debating what someone else says on forum. Who cares?

Why does what I wrote bother you? I was responding to the OP who post. I was not talking to you.

This is the trading industry, EVERYBODY got an opinion, are you going to spend your life debating EVERYBODY trading opinion. SMH. LOL

Good Morning Sprout,

I love ET forum, it has made me a better trader and person overall. And I have met some VERY good friends on this forum. VERY good friends. I am bless to be here. And its free.

I will be here in 2054 as well and beyond.

 

Just so everyone knows or need a reminder.

I posted a post to the OP to answer his questions. I was not talking to anybody else. Not sure why people talking to me for. Use that energy to help the OP, not talking to me.

I appreciate the talking to me, I do. But help the OP, you do not need to debate me. I love debating and bullshitting with you, but I was talking to you from the get go.

In any position, you could easily be down 10-15% but, if you see in the stockcharts that the stock is pulling back, in a long term uptrend, you just sit it out. When it runs back up and sets new highs, it will blow thru your losses and put you in the black. One of the dumbest thing to do when trading is to panic just because the stock is pulling back which is normal. Even in the strongest trending stocks, there will be pullbacks and if you bailout just before it runs up huge, again, you missed out--just because you got scared.

 

Hello smallfil,

Well said, and well agreed!

 

Correction for all readers of this post. I am Sorry, I should have pointed out in context for how I trade, not everyone else or in general traders.

I ask the moderator to delete that post.

Thank you,

 

Lol,

1. If you are careless, you will lose money

2. If you are unlucky, you will lose money

3. If you are lucky but have high transaction costs, you will lose money

4. if you are lucky, but careless with execution, you will lose money.

6. if you are lucky and still miss your big winner, you will lose money

7. If you are lucky, i can still name 100 other reasons where you will lose money regardless.

9. Damn, in this game you need not only to be lucky but also well prepared, have a plan and still, you need every star to align perfectly in your favour to be able to make any money in rhe long term.

Good luck.

 

Losses are expected and part of the process,
and those who have failed to prepare a plan
for eventual market reverses are prepared to fail.
