Costly hiccups – do YOU have any?
by RealityTrader.com
Continuing our mini-series devoted to trading psychology, let’s look into another very common problem traders encounter.
One of the most frequent questions I get:Â “OK, I seem to have mastered a lot, I can extract money from the markets and I have stretch of winning days BUT… one day comes when I seem to be unable to follow my own rules, I start doing everything against what I learned, dig deeper and deeper hole… and when the day is over I find myself giving back all I made in a week before that! I feel groggy… then I remember everything I learned, pick myself up, glue pieces together, start trading carefully, start making money… only to have another blow-off just like the previous one in a week or two! What’s going on, why can’t I control myself and how do I avoid these frustrating days??”
If all above sounds familiar – it should. I haven’t met many traders who avoided this problem. Good news is, it’s a somewhat good problem to have since it appears at the stage where your method is good enough and mastered well enough so you are able to make money consistently inbetween those disgusting days. Bad news is, there is no other way to overcome this problem but to understand the root of it. This, however, is true for all psychological barriers we encounter in trading – no magic button to push and turn the problem off, have to understand where the problem stems from so you can recognize it when it re-appears and apply the right patch. And this problem is pure psychological – after all, what could change so drastically on the fifth day after four days of winning? Aside of your own behavior that is.

I personally find more “true market behavior” now days in markets like gold, Euro, crude oil and others versus stock index futures. It seems that quantitative easing (QE) has took out the fear factor from stock index futures….or maybe when traders all think that way that is when market sentiment changes?
I am not sure…in between, if you would like to see what my intraday charts, set ups and signals look like for Crude oil, Euro and mini SP, please sign up at:
