DislikedFor many of us, fear isn't the problem; some fear is very healthy.
The problem is simply wanting the trade to be a winner, rather than letting a position realize its profit potential. Here's a quote I snipped from some thread or the other, and if someone recognizes it as their posting, I mean no derision; it's just a good example:
"I am too impatient when I am in positive pips but not when I am loosing pips. Isn't it funny. I guess i hate taking losses and hoping the market will turn around."
That's the mindset that turns trading into roulette,...Ignored

Don't be a hero. Don't have an ego. Always question yourself
