I am afraid :
1-to be wrong
2-to loss money
3-to lost a chance / oportunity
4-to let money on the table
the main mistakes are:
1-hesitation
2-jump as a crazy
3-Enter without measurable risk
4-move the stop loss to get a big loss
5-no take profits
6-exit soon from a winner
7-move sl to bve and get stop and mkt go to my favor
8-take a bigger risk with too many
lots for my account
it is clear that with the fear my mind does not work well for trading, then i need to work to have a clear mind
and open for the market.
i try to reach the advice of tiz, do not expect nothing, do not care the outcame, can happen anything, take the money
to be continue

A deep urge is brewing in the depths it lurks. A trade must occur again is how it works. The longer you go without the closer it comes about.

i was doing some
momentum trades on the test of 200 max per day
3 winners day and i feel like, yes , i can do it
of course the next 3 days were 3 x-200
what happens
i was practicing not trying to recoup and get emotionally
one good practice was
1w, next
1l
other and stop
1w ,2w, if 300gola stop
if 200 (locked) compulsory stop
but
when i down some
fr examople -125
or-62
i keft tiny amount to trade
i trying to cut quick if not work fast the trades
but
i lost good chances for winning and also big potential winners
and got trapped in some false break outs
then if i want to continue trading , i have tight stop
then worse trade
and
scalp
and micro scalp
and worse
and end -200
the only posibility is 1 or 2 w
or 1 trade with 4 p stop
i will focus on 1 trade with 4p stop
loser stop trading
winner ,other, winner if pass 300 and come back stop
if 1w 1l and below 4p next stop stop trading
i entry back to mean, on turning
points , after abc, on support, with momentum before to explode and with 4p room stop well located
then i will wait, patience
not recovery revenge,
and add winners after the pb on bo
sim test
with 1500maxdd and goal
maxdll -200
goal +300
2lot
if it work
i will test live to sav my money in the meanwhile+combine 175$
focus on not emotionally/recovey
and be patiente for the trades
i will miss 1000trades beacause i normally see trades everywhere, and use to chase
good luck
and relaxing+preparation+study markets
