Hello Everyone,

I began to be daily profitable since July. During July, I covered all the lose that I have done since the beginning of my trading.

I have a better strategy and discipline now, but I feel that I'm more nervous about losing money. I want to earn more but afraid to lose.

At the beginning stage, I was prepared to lose money due to my novice. Now with a positive profit on my account, I hate to lose. I become too cautious to miss good trade.

Does anyone had the same feeling or period? How did you deal with it?

Thank you!

I would parlay your current turn around into a journal and increasing an understanding of how you are trading. Journals can be extremely helpful in identifying patterns or problems in your trading. That you can then work on correcting.

I would agree. A public journal on futures.io (formerly BMT) gets your trading out of your personal space (and your head), and puts it out in an objective reality where you can look at it, understand it, receive feedback from others, and act on what you see and understand.

It can be difficult, but it can be a good thing for you. Find a format that works for you, and give it a try.

Bob.
