Focus on losing

Focus on Losing
That may sound strange but allow me to explain.  Unsuccessful traders tend to live in a fantasy camp in which they believe that the market is there to provide them with future wealth.  They then have difficulty coping with the reality of being wrong at times.  When trades do not live up to their expectations they tend to ignore the situation and reduce themselves to hope.  Unfortunately they will not abandon their original belief that they will still make money holding the stock. 

When you hold a loser you are essentially not accepting responsibility for the trade.  The best traders recognize that they were wrong accept responsibility for the trade sell the position and move on.  It is critical to transition from a mindset that stocks will make you wealthy to a mindset of your trading method will make you wealthy over time. Being right or wrong on each individual trade does not matter. You have to be able to move through the adversity of losing trades and hold onto the faith that you will make money in the long run. This is why many individuals find trading so difficult. Some focus too much on the individual trades and do not look at them as just one small trade in a lifetime of trading activity. 

As a trader you must transition from a fearful mindset to a psychological state of confidence. You must believe in yourself and use a strategy that builds confidence by taking bigger profits and smaller losses. The toughest part is continuing to take trades after a string of losing trades even if they are small. Psychologically that is where many traders will give up because they are usually too quick in equating consecutive small losers with a system that is not working. What these traders should do is practice trading their system with what they consider a small amount of capital where they still care about the money but not so much that it will be devastating if they string a few losers in a row.  

You may notice that we focus more on the losing trade topics in the commentaries.  This is because it is those that we must rid ourselves from very quickly.  The winners will take care of themselves.  It is true that the market can be wrong longer than we can remain solvent. The market is always right no matter what. We are not stronger better or greater than the market and we must respect that or we will be wiped out faster than we can say Booyaah Jim.
