DislikedMM is my biggest problem. overleveraging when i am in loss. yesterday i lost almost half of my account (not much, it's true) because i started the day bad. so i had to recover from the loss before the big fall i anticipated. but then i got locked in the trade, didn't want to take a small loss and ended up loosing 5 longs (which were supposed to be scalps) because they didn't get to tp (even though they did get into profit). i even saw that the last spike up was to clear sls and i should have closed there. but i didn't. besides that i move sl lower...Ignored
If you write your plans down, go back over them. If the plans you write the night before comes to fruition a majority of the time, then you need to address your fears and indecision when it comes to trading your plan. A couple of solutions you could try (on demo) are setting orders based on your plan and not reading what some guys here are saying when you trade your plan so you don't get distracted or confused. Trade your plan first, then go have a banter here. Unless you know the posters exact strategy, TF and risk appetite; following their calls is not recommended until you know your own system, strategy and risk appetite.
