Here are two comments made from two SMB traders in their daily review sent to me after the close. \u00a0Both harm their results by trying too hard. \u00a0Do you do this?<\/p>\n

I am slowly becoming less and less content with just making $$$$ (note: SMB cannot talk our PnL because of compliance reasons) and calling it a decent day. I need to really push harder so those $$$$ days become $$$$ days. But in the last week, when i started to push harder after im already up $$$$ i always end up giving a lot back<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

and then……..<\/p>\n

\n
Now the problem today was that I wanted to push the close too hard and I really overtraded a<\/div>\n
lot\u2026 it seems whenever I get up $$$$ im thinking over $$$$ and I start trying to force it\u2026 next<\/div>\n
week I will try to be more cognizant of this<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

  • This is a common issue with developing traders. \u00a0You do not make more money as a trader because you want to make more.<\/li>\n
  • The market does not care that you want to make more. \u00a0It rewards you for making excellent risk\/reward decisions.<\/li>\n
  • Trying harder can harm you.<\/li>\n
  • Trading is a game. \u00a0Enjoy it.<\/li>\n
  • Enough with the self- imposed stress. \u00a0Some of these new guys around me stress me out caring too much about a trade working in their favor.<\/li>\n
  • One trade, One day, one week, one month will have no effect on a long trading career. \u00a0Chill!<\/li>\n
