What do you learn?

From my exerience trading, you learn more from failure than from winning.

Some may argue with me on this, but this is REALITY.

So I would like to pose a question, open to any trader.

What do you or have you learned when you experience a loss?

Think about this seriously.

I would only append your comment with "When you are Starting on this journey. Rest assured, There will come a time when you learn more from your successes than failures."

Failure CAN teach you IF you are willing to take the time and effort to learn from it, but consistent success is the only thing that will give you the confidence to continue to follow your method to the letter. Constant failure can start to make you doubt your abilities in general, and make it hard to have any confidence to follow your system, even if the system really is a net profitable one.

LOL at bumping 12 year old topic with not that much valuable information, but yes you really need to get all this for good trading and I assume within that 12 years you already got some experience anyway for all that trades today. Nice picture as well

we can learn trading principle from various sources but the best way according to me by own trading mistake. our mistake can be our great Mentor , we should leave the habit doing same mistake again and again. if cant , no way to come out fro losses at all.

It's better to be late than to negate. Patience is a virtue for breakout is a sign of strength, but a weak pullback is your go get rich card.
You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and don't do

Leaning from own trading mistake is the best practice! But, we should try to complete our main learning process in the beginning stage of trading!

not agree with you, when we start trading , no way to learn all inevitable parts of trading, because learning is a process which is related with long term process and there is no short cut way of learning , should patience first of all if anyone want to be a knowledgeably trader by learning.

Best way to learn is simply trade and get some experience for that matter anyway. I do not see something like this for sure cause I already seems have good past week, but that doesn't mean I am not going to learn something other like crypto for example.

It’s a good practice; but we should be serious on our own trading mistakes! Learning from own trading mistake is the best way of building trading skill.

we cant avoid the importance of learning at all , because there is no way to stop learning even after passing a long time in here , but learning can be useless if there is no discipline and practice. so, it is more appropriate to maintain real trading discipline with consistent practice.

I agree. Practice every new bit of theory you learn, don't just move onto the next one.

Of course. Go through all the mistakes in demo account while pretending its real money, with realistic amount.
Note the mistakes and their reasons, keep them as a true record of things to add to the study and it should solidify your foundation.

Absolutely. There must be no difference in our behavior between demo and real.

That's the ideal situation, but usually that's not the case. Live accounts often have slower server connection, there's requoting, etc.

Mate; what’s the reason of slower server connection? Is it intentional by the brokers?
