I had 4 realizations during my trading career. 3 in 2019 and 1 a month ago. I always thought that it would be unfair to me to tell you because i have shed blood sweat and a tears. I have a jacked with decaying blood and tears. anyway... when you trade its all a matter of mental health, psychology... you are fighting against other people... when you lose he makes money... if you are smarter you can beat him and take all his money... and i am going to explain you how....
I hope this may help you you are fighting against other people ----- > you are fighting against your old self / hidden subconsciousness .... and I am going to explain to you why ... The market is big enough. You don't have to fight against other people.
1 month ago??!! What happened a month ago??!! It was the holidays with like zero volume??!! The markets were closed on TWO days...
There is not even a battle. Do you really believe you can take on the big boys (hedge funds, mutual funds, banks, brokers) who control the stockmarket, and win? Good luck with that pipe dream. The only secret is "the trend is your friend." Make sure your trades are aligned with the stockmarket trend. It is that simple.
Your we are battling against big trading company's, they move the markets intraday and they know how to trap retail, making it look like support then dropping it fast everyones SLs slip before reversing. All the big companies make money year on year, all there profits come from retail, it's them vs us.
i guarantee you ain't no think tank setting around planning to exploit small traders on elite trader forum. the closest i have even seen is the use of odd lot index for option trading. what is on the mind of big trading is avoiding partial fills on their orders and risk control. never does a retail trader enter the mind of size.
Exactly! This market is really huge and no one has enough time to compete with other people. The competition here is only with yourself. Every day, just try to become better than yesterday.
