Confessions of a Revenge/Over Trader
Before I took Ryans 2023 mentorship class
I was regularly blowing up accounts and starting over in new ones
I had a huge amount of FOMO and greed
I would take as many as 70 trades a day
I would often enter trades without a SL or TP
I chased candles
I would move my SL to stay in losing trades
I felt confused about how to select lots
I kept trying to trade symbols that needed way bigger accounts than I had
I risked too much of my account in each trade
I didnt pay attention to news folders
or whether it was the right time to trade that symbol
I traded angry, upset, distracted, not feeling well, or over medicated.
Ryan helped me create a solid trading plan:
Risk, lots , SL, TP, when, what, confirmations
I cultivated the habit of journaling my trades
I strived for one good trade
I released a majority of my FOMO
I figured out how to calc the Lots
I got into the habit of always entering a trade with SL and TP
I learned to choose SL that let the trades breath.
I stopped blowing up demo accounts and moved to my real account
I have not blown my real account.
lately I have been getting sloppy,
my greed has gained on me and I have:
increased my risk by decreasing my SL's and increasing my lots
I did good on trades during Ryans live sessions which match my trade plan trading times
but I then traded outside my trade plan times and lost
and then over traded and revenge traded to try to regain the losses
these are old bad habits creeping back
I have managed to not exceed my overall max loss per day
and so my account is not in danger of being blown up
but I need to reign these bad habits in before matters get worse
mostly I am not minding my emotions
and I am trading when I am not well,
or over medicated.
I am being super honest and open so that I can get a handle on this behavior
exposing it to the light so I can be more honest with myself in handling it.
I am so thankful for Ryans training
and I intend and plan to be more diligent.
