Start the month over.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One Consistently Profitable Trader on our desk, who started the month in a drawdown focused on starting the month over:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>after last week, just not being able to string together any winning days \/ momentum and digging myself into a $5 &#8211; 6k hole, <strong>decided to just treat today and this week as the start of a new month<\/strong>&#8230; scale back for a couple days and just focus on making good trades, getting my consistency back and hopefully things compound from there.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>2. Only enter trades after seeing confirmation of your trading idea.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One prop trader who drew down last week, had a long chat with him mentor and focused on seeing confirmation of his trading idea before entering.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We had a very long conversation about my trading and how I have been ANTICIPATING breakdowns w\/ size rather than adding in after the CONFIRMATION.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to make it my goal today to be nimble on my trades until the CONFIRMATION.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>3. Double down on your risk limits.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another elite prop trader got whopped last month and decided to double down on following his risk limits.\u00a0 He had been wrong on a few ideas, but lost way too much for him.\u00a0 If you can minimize PnL losses on those inevitable poor trading sessions, then you can make significant progress as a trader.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Be green.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another junior trader on our desk had a miserable day, his worst ever last week, and focused on just being green.\u00a0 He focused on trading only his A+ setups.\u00a0 He focused on finishing the trading session positive, no matter how small.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Double down on your trading process.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An experienced retail trader took a monster rip in IGC recently and decided to focus on doubling down on his trading process.\u00a0 If this trader follows his trading process, then good trades come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Wait for your A+ trades.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An experienced trader at SMB, after a massive loss, doubled down on just waiting for A+ trades to present themselves.\u00a0 No more getting out in front of an idea, he proclaimed.\u00a0 \u00a0Just sit in your seat and wait for the easy money.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Find solutions to fix poor trading.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I will offer an idea of my own.\u00a0 After taking a huge loss, seek solutions so they do not happen again.\u00a0 Focus on succeeding at implementing these solutions.\u00a0 Our solutions, built into habit, is what blocks the worst days from reoccurring.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Take a day off.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay one more from me.\u00a0 After a huge loss, go and clear your head.\u00a0 Reset.\u00a0 Go have some fun.\u00a0 The markets will be there when you return.\u00a0 And with solutions to trade better, you can attack the markets with a better plan.<\/p>\n<p>*no relevant positions<\/p>\n<div>*disclosure: huge Yankees fan<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/broadcast.smbtraining.com\/smbwebinar1\/?utm_source=DailyVideo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/webinar-signup-banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"665\" height=\"291\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I treated my dad to Game 3 between the Yankees and Red Sox last night.\u00a0 I was pumped all day for the game.\u00a0 Admittedly, I spent more than I should have for seats.\u00a0 But I am a huge Yankees fan.\u00a0 And my dad and I used to have season tickets for years before his health issues.\u00a0 Even my son was &#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/8-ideas-after-you-take-a-large-loss-as-a-trader-to-propel-improved-trading-results\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":144,"featured_media":47611,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5463],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bella-daily-update"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>8 ideas after you take a large loss as a trader to propel improved trading results | SMB Training<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smbtraining.com\/blog\/8-ideas-after-you-take-a-large-loss-as-a-trader-to-propel-improved-trading-results\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"8 ideas after you take a large loss as a trader to propel improved trading results | SMB Training\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I treated my dad to Game 3 between the Yankees and Red Sox last night.\u00a0 I was pumped all day for the game.\u00a0 Admittedly, I spent more than I should have for seats.\u00a0 But I am a huge Yankees fan.\u00a0 And my dad and I used to have season tickets for years before his health issues.\u00a0 Even my son was ...
