While lots of folks will tell you how easy trading is, using their simple idea, it just isn’t true. Even after twenty years as a professional trader I still have many frustrating days. Most are good and I love it, but it still happens. The problem for many is giving in to the frustration or turmoil.
All kinds of things happen. Connectivity issues can be a problem. Poor equipment and software collapse happen. More often we blame those things for what was actually a bad trading decision. When that line of thinking becomes constant we have a serious problem because mistakes are not being dealt with.
Keeping a clear head when everything is falling apart around you is very hard. It is also very necessary in trading. Whether outside family, economic or tech issues are weighing you down, you need to calm down and get to work. You have to analytically look at the problem. Blaming other things or people won’t make it better. If you often say that your broker,clearing firm or some market maker got you, there is a problem!
I often use my time in the ring as a fighter and later as a trainer to motivate me. Keep me clear in adversity. When somebody is trying to take your head off and your hurt, you can’t let your technique get sloppy. It will end badly. Training for a fight involves pushing your endurance to physical levels of pain, but you have to be able to think to complete the task.
Don’t give up and throw in the towel. Figure out what is going on, strength in adversity. Get help in figuring it out if you need. Nothing worthwhile is easy.
