Be carefull...this market is full of uncertainty.

I got a bit carried away with myself and wiped out the week's profits.

Still it could have been a lot worse.

Sorry...done quite a few time...you will recover...
but I would reflect on the experience and identify the scorpion that created it.

Did this happen in the last few hours? What pair(s) were you trading, please explain. Everything has been in a 50/70 pip range

I kinda wish I had run off from this thread the other day like a big girl now.

This is the second time I've had to admit to being stupid on here - I feel like a little schoolboy telling his teacher he's had another accident in his underpants

I would keep quiet about these things but I'm happy enough to announce when I've made a few percent so I feel duty bound to tell all...

I was trading cable and it happened from about 7.15 European time onwards when it was bouncing up and down in 30-50 point moves and I went the wrong way a couple of times and couldn't stop myself trying to get it back straight away and making it worse for myself...

EDIT: I had been writing all night and was trying to finish the last couple of articles and trade at the same time, which didn't really help

EDIT2: And yes, if I had just sat it out and waited for it to come back to me I would have been fine..

Scorpion identify #1 from your post. Never try to hide your losses, doing so means your unable to deal with them. You made money or lost money, it's the nature of the market.

It sounds like your skewing way to fast, back off, downsize to a level that is more comfortable, and doesn't mess with your mental side.

fwiw, regards

Edit : from your other post it sounds like your rescue MO may be out of line, might reread your notes. Revenge trading never works.

Yes you are right - I appreciate the advice. I had to leave the last two trades in and wait for it to come back down or it would have been a lot worse. I seem to have had a mental abberation and decided I had ten times more capital to play with than I really had.

Good trading to everyone, am short the GBP/$ a few minutes ago, and watching to see if the E/J will cooperate for a short. We'll see. Good trading and be careful today.

If I have to be totally honest, I made a sizeable dent in my starting capital too, but I have just made that back and closed the last two oversized trades out.

Hi Mark,

sorry to here about your "accident".
The only thing I want to say is, that the statement above wont help you in any way. In hindsight everything is easy. But at the moment when you are fighting, you can never be sure, if PA will comeback to you.

Having said that, I do not mean, that you shopuld not be patient. On the first glance patience and nimbleness or two concurrent concepts. But only on the first glance. Your position size should be chosen cautiously, so that you can be patient to wait for a clear market direction. Once you are sure about the new direction, act immediately.
If you are getting in trouble reduce your sizes. So you will get more time to refocus your mindset and resync with the recent PA ...

Hmmmh - not sure if I was bale to make my point clear ....

However - don't give up. As Lusan hzas said already you will recover from that "catastrophe".

Good Luck,
MaMood

U,

There's something to be said for a good trading form, understanding the basics which this thread teaches.... but the biggest lessons are those about self, that the market will expose, it is not fun but it is necessary to learn for future survival.

Hang in there.

Hi Mark,
Hmmmh - not sure if I was able to make my point clear ....
Yes - seems very clear to me. I hope I can calm down now.

EDIT: Thanks MaMood and thanks again Auxesis. I think it may actually have sunk in this time.
