You say trading is hard and it is, but the solution to my problem is easy, and in my hands.simply dont trade too near the off and dont go in play. I guess I am battling with other impulses( fear of losses, greed, failure) which are getting in the way of the simple solution.neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365267086452252378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605202650992424263.post-45593742341805134292010-01-22T20:43:36.022+00:002010-01-22T20:43:36.022+00:00Neil

All this in play stuff is just a lame excuse as you're just not accepting bigger reds soon enough and letting the market go to conclusion in the hope the odds will change drastically in your favour, they won't. <br /><br />Take a week off and do some contemplating not like you'll miss the income or learn any new trading tips in a week. Sometimes you need to step out of the situation fully and make those hard decisions as even if you sort out the in play side it doesn't mean you'll be able to make a living out of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605202650992424263.post-84779112877107415242010-01-21T21:30:25.566+00:002010-01-21T21:30:25.566+00:00I guess I was wallowing a bit, but I think its als...I guess I was wallowing a bit, but I think its also a good way to accept the mistakes and work out where I went wrong and what I can do to sort it out.<br />I have benefitted a few times by going in play, not to the value of £40 tho, but that doesnt matter, I need to stop going in playneilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365267086452252378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605202650992424263.post-76808357050038603952010-01-21T20:43:18.980+00:002010-01-21T20:43:18.980+00:00Maybe someone should set up a Traders Anonymous li...Maybe someone should set up a Traders Anonymous like AA where traders could wallow in their own stupidity :)<br /><br />You got stung on this one but you've probably benefitted from others you've let go in playAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
