I hope this is constructive. I've just traded once without a SL. When I first was learning to exchange, I was trading with stupidly massive places for a newcomer. I had a #30k account but even so, I was taking places with roughly #50 a pip size. I captured a sharp movement in the wrong direction and panic set in quickly since I saw my loss fly into the many hundreds in a matter of moments. I instantly decided to double up the opposite path, so sure she was going to flip (averaged in, in a fucked up kind of way). Then I started doing so in all manner of instructions until I had about 8 transactions on at precisely the exact same time and had no idea where I was with everything. Finally I bailed out at #350 loss which I was grateful for as at one stage, my unrealised loss was well over #1000.Originally Posted by ;
This was all the lesson which I needed. I started using a stop on every order after and being uber disciplined became my driving target. About 20 trading egies and lots of countless hours of slapping myself around the chops afterwards and I am still not 100% there but so much closer than I ever have been.
Nobody ever made it in this sport by dropping 40% of the account on a single trade. I have no doubt you understand it but you must take that as a shot across the bows. You escaped however, if you are even slightly serious about this, you can't allow a repeat occur. The market will bite and bite hard eventually, we just get so many chances.
Best of luck mate.
Due Trotty! Absolutely agree with you. I dropped the plot hoping it'd come back, afterall what might folks think!Originally Posted by ;
I've traded my way back to profit and have used a stoploss everytime since.
Funny how I keep opening the ruler book with stated I was going to throw it away. Successful traders adhere to the rulebook like superglue and their discipline is amazing.
Thank you for your contribution. I love it and your service!
Best of luck to you also!
No difficulty at all partner. I believe most traders have an absolute burning desire to find out other retail traders create it. It's a rare thing really, in most kinds of business, somebody doing exactly the same thing as you in the same time is the competition but not in gambling. As our retail traders make up a poxy 7% of traded revenues each and every day, there's a feeling that we're all in it together against the institutions. The reality isthat each retail trader could be profitable and it wouldn't shunt the markets from the typical patterns much at all, if anything. We must all learn from each others mistakes and strive to create one another as good as we could beOriginally Posted by ;
You are right of course. The defining characteristic that you will find in EVERY successful trader, be it one trading countless for Credit Suisse or the bloke down the road trading micro lots, is subject and consistency of approach. With no two constants, you're not necessarily doomed to failure but much more inclined to find it than success.
