which you have no control



Trading is more a psychological issue than a methodological one



Without an understanding of trading psychology, the chances to overcome the fear, confusion, and despair that is inherent in trading are pretty much zero.



IntradayMoney.in

After a series of consecutive losses, method becomes replaced with a feeling (e.g., psychology) that it is impossible to do anything right. This is a perfect example of why psychology can be more critical than method.

www.intradaymoney.in 

So it goes, it is said that trading is 90% mental and 10% techniques.

 www.dailyniftytips.in This does not imply that regardless of trading tactics, a trader that has only sure shot tips..!

control over their emotional issues will be a profitable trader, or vice versa.



Trading techniques is the sole determinant of “high odds” through the

The root cause of the trading psychology problem … www.dailyniftytips.in  Knowingly taking a “bad” (non-method/non setup) trade only sure shot tips..!

 Having to accept this action/behavior when there is a loss. 

Keep in mind that a losing trade that is base on some method is NOT a

bad trade

 Because the risk of loss from 'some' percentage of previous trades has

been accepted.
