Hi Nagzu, I understand where your frustration is coming from, having gone through exactly this myself. Below I am copying a post from creditviolet, a very distinguished senior member who is not active here any more. Much to lear from it:
Evolution of a trader
STARTS OFF Greed orientated.
Loses because:
1 Market problems
a Not a zero sum game, a very negative sum game
b Market psychology doing the wrong thing at the wrong time
c The majority is always wrong
d Market exists on chaos and confusion.
2 Own problems
a Overtrading
b No knowledge
c No discipline
c No protection against market psychology
d Random action through uncertainty, brokers advice for example
e Market views.
RESULT: the greed orientated trader gets a good kicking and
becomes fear orientated.
Fear Orientated
Loses because:
1 Market problems as above
2 Scared money never wins
3 Own problems
a Still overtrading derivatives
b Fear brings on what it fears
c Tries to cut losses too tight creating more losses
d Still no real understanding of what it takes.
RESULT: Traders who persevere travel through the tunnel and
becomes risk orientated.
Risk Oriented
This is when they start to make money
because they:
1 Develop a methodology which give them an edge
2 Use an effective Money Management system
3 Develop the discipline to follow their methodology
4 Erase harmful personality traits.
