30% trading 70% psychology

Hi.
My name is Ronnie

Im a newbie 8 months striving hard and I have had my ups and downs throughout the journey and im not looking for the holy grail
Im hoping that this thread is here for the new traders that assume trading is all about indicators telling you green buy, red sell
but later realize that psychology is the biggest obstacle to overcome in the trading game.
Hopefully FF senior traders can recommend what helps eliminate the issue or at least control it.

but hopefully. We are here to learn , make friends but also make some dinero ( not trying to gey rich quick)
But enjoy the ride and would like to hear fellow traders stories and of course some tips wouldnt hurt for us new traders..
Feel free to any input you feel will help a trader evolve or grow.

I will be adding trades and feel free to add feedback or submit your own trades. But dont post if you cant receive constructive criticism.

Hi Ronnie, welcome. For my part after nearly 4 years of trading I would say there's a strong connection between psychology and money management! Never risk more than 2% and ensure your winners are preferably twice your losses and things are looking good, and your mental health / psychology is in a good space. Having said that I am very guilty of breaking those rules and losing, but it's a work in progress. I had an expectation that my success rate needed to be 60% up, with amazing RR, but I think that bar is too high, 50% success rate fine if MM sound, but that means my edge is ONLY MM and FF is mostly about indicators.. go figure. Is this thought process the start of my success or am I heading down the wrong track?? It would indeed be interesting to know " average" success rates win/loss ratios for professional traders. I hate DD so I'm happy to accept a lower success rate in order to avoid DD, but swing traders I believe target a much higher success rate with also higher DD. Your individual risk profile will guide your comfort with trading style,.and in my experience moving between the styles can lead to carnage of the mind ( ie if I decide to try relax and trust a trade that's moving against me my brain fries just a bit, so I stick to tight SL).

Very down to earth anwser.
Yes i think that as a trader one of the most important things would be trusting yourself and assuming that in trading starting out we tend to lose alot but i feel alot better that im not the only trader that enconters these issues as a trader we tend to be loners but i think that the only way we overcome it is giving support to ourselves as a Brotherhood for when a fellow trader is down and ready to call it quits because i have had those times that i felt i wasnt trader material and having those thoughts tend to have a trader to officially give up and quit trying.but if we can overcome it, there will be a reward. i see it now as a career and not a easy get rich quick project and to me its the challenge that gets me fired up. But now im understanding that tradimg should be emotionless and that why we need rules because i have noticed that when we trade we have like 10,000 feeling at the same time and to eliminate it we make it kind of automated so that we can trade with the less amount of emotion. I have started to do my rules and the tough part is the starr but once you get a good system you are set for life...but yes i will start go publish my trades , and we can give our selfs real time feedback but without trying to use ego but rather take the critic and be open to new solutions even yhe most talented traders can learn from a novice trader.
