You will have losing days. I have been in the futures industry for 15 years now and never have I met a trader who did not have a losing day&#8230;and\u00a0I will never meet one&#8230;.impossible.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Understand it and accept it.\u00a0One of your hardest jobs as a day trader is to make sure a losing day does NOT become a disaster&#8230;Our human emotions and our brain is not programmed very well to learn how to lose. Yet one of the key differences between traders and those who try to become &#8220;traders&#8221;&#8230;is that traders first learn how to lose. They understand losing is part of trading. The others, refuse to take a losing day and will make many mistakes along the way to make a &#8220;normal losing&#8221; day into a disaster. That may be carrying positions overnight when they normally don&#8217;t, reversing, pyramiding and many other mistakes that they would normally not make. That turns a &#8220;normal losing day&#8221; (maybe for an account of $10,000, a normal losing day would be down $700?) into one of those days where they wipe out half of their account, if not more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have realistic expectations. Under the statistics of your own trading. Keep notes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes we need to learn how to lose before we can excel in trading.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you are a day trader,<\/strong>\u00a0below you will see markets that our proprietary ALGO has identified as being more suitable for attacking either from the long side or the short side for the next trading session.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cannontrading.com\/company\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Questions?
