I’m Fried

November 10, 2006 by Trader Rich 

I lost about 30 pips total this week and felt very burnt out in the process.  I've been trying to do so much and as a result, feel like I've accomplished nothing.  I need to regroup and get more organized.  

I hope you all had a good week of trading.

    This is a bit philosophical but would you have felt the same if you had netted a profit?

    The element of chance in the markets is strong, such that regardless of how much hard work you put in, there is always a fairly high probability that in any given week a trader will net a loss.

    It may be more productive to ask yourself if you are doing all the right things along the way. If you are, and you have a sound process, maybe you should just ’see through’ the loss as a part of the process.

    From a fellow trader who has not been fried so much as toasted to charcoal crisp!

    anyway, all the best in the future!
