Have you improved your trading psychology?

[Rambo35]

One of the biggest, if not the biggest obstacle, for new traders is psychology. It can make or break your trading and you can only work on improving it through trading, trading and trading in a real account. Improving your trading psychology should at least be given the same consideration and effort as you put into creating your trading strategy.

Keeping a journal may be a great tool for you in order to write down and monitor your progress. Those who ignore the hard work required into making improvements to their psychology are missing out on the biggest factor which will influence your trading results.

When I started then well.... the most hardest thing was not to break and start gambling. I totally lost myself few times and opened emotional trades and lost it all. I am very happy that my account size was small back then.Then I wrote down my strategy on the paper. Plain and simple and it helped.

A trader must have risk management rules to follow to reduce the risk of losing.If a trader can't understand how risk management works,I think there is very big possibility you'll lose everything.

It seems to me that I really become psychologically stronger as time goes. I analyze all my mistakes and sometimes it turns out that it’s because of my nerves, because I was afraid to lose everything and instead of thinking, I closed my orders when it’s not profitable for me. When I realize it, it makes me control my emotions more in the future.

I think trading psychology can be improved by practicing knowledge and becoming familiar with the market ethics. It needs time to work on this field smoothly. I hope you will improve with the passage of every day if you trade every day. What do you people think in this regard?

 

[Leo Wilson]

Yes, I believe all of us have except those who makes same mistakes rolling down.

This is the most common thing which happens with most of the novice traders, and initially it is hard to control the emotions. but i think with the passage of time our trading psychology improves as we start learning from our mistakes.

I would say there has been some improvement in the way I am able to manage my emotions while trading. Though I believe I have a long way to go. When I started trading I struggled a lot with this issue. Most of the times whenever I had a few lucky trades in a row I felt tempted to execute one more trade against my better judgement. Fortunately this is getting better now. So my advice to all traders is to work hard on your trading psychology. It can be the make-or-break factor in trading.

Yes I am! When I was a new trader then I was unable to control my emotion; but now I do meditation in everyday; it helps a lot.

I used cent account to improve my trading psychology. At first, I lost lot of money due to overtrading. Sometime I closed my trade before hitting SL. I am learning from my mistake.

That's good. Traders who take mistakes as stepping stones and learn from them get closer to success.

 

[David_diego]

Not easy to have the right kind of psychology while trading. I have seen many traders failing because of that. But yeah, one should keep working on it.

The stock market may not have emotions, but as a person, you do. Trading psychology might sound like a made-up phenomenon, but it’s a very real thing. Having a strong base of knowledge about how trading works will set you up to make better decisions, both long-term and on the fly. A strong foundation of knowledge is always a good thing, and it will help you make more informed decisions as a trader.
