I know these are broad questions, but for those that overcame the problems mentioned in the title, what did you do to overcome it?
I invariably make 1 or 2 stupid trading decisions (usually going against the trend) weekly (or monthly) that cost me $500 to $1000 per instance.
Things I shouldn't do, but still end up doing on occasion:
- going against the trend ("here's the reversal, here goes :pcguru: )
- increasing mental stop loss ("it's reversing now :faint: )
- not cutting losses quickly
