Too many to discuss efficiently in one blog post. Some relate to trading techniques, other to money management, mental aspect, risk capital and much more.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong>But one that sticks in my eyes is the inability to accept a loss.<\/strong> I see many clients who can make money and have days where they make money but when they lose, they lose much more, sometimes even losing control and losing a big portion of their account.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I am not sure how a trader can embed this into their trading mind, BUT in my opinion if you train your brain to expect losses, understand losses and that losing days will happen, you will increase your chances of surviving in this business, which in return will actually give you a chance to succeed\u2026.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Losses are part of trading and as long as your losses are part of the plan and are quantified in advance and you can adhere to your rules, then you have a chance. I think it\u2019s easy when traders are winning\u2026making money etc. Much harder when you lose or down. your brain starts playing tricks on you\u2026it tells you to double down, maybe reverse even though your analysis does not say so\u2026.all of a sudden you start pulling trades out of instinct, fear rather than a calculated plan that has solid risk\/ reward.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If a trader learns how to lose, to accept losses, to have realistic expectations, then he\/ she can avoid having one of those terrible days when traders can lose almost of all their account.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Also, while a bit easier in my mind, a day trader should also step away when he reached a predefined profit target for the trading day. In my humble opinion, the more you day trade, the more fatigued you become and larger chances for errors.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I went into this subject and detailed day trading money management in an article I wrote a few years back for SFO magazine.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cannontrading.com\/community\/newsletter\/During-these-times-of-historic-volatility-it-is-important-learn-how-to-lose-NASDAQ-futures#one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-segment-action=\"add\" data-segment-id=\"42dd3290-dd7d-11e3-91c2-d4ae529a8639\">Click here to read the rest of the Article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cannontrading.com\/services\/FreeVideos\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/3dc00ef7001\/6541ee95-dd57-4414-bd0f-3a1de7e5be19.gif\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"><strong>Good Trading<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\">Trading Futures, Options on Futures, and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.\u00a0 You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources.
