ADVICE

Hold Winners Longer With Proper Sizing

  • Stay with winning trades and size positions so you can endure volatility while letting winners run.
  • Avoid closing winners prematurely out of fear; position size to tolerate overnight moves.
INSIGHT

Loss Fear Outweighs Winning Pleasure

  • Fear of losing often outweighs the joy of winning by several multiples and drives bad decisions.
  • That emotional imbalance can cause traders to offset profitable positions prematurely.
ADVICE

Use Stops And Data, Not Intraday Control

  • Don't trade intraday timeframes to feel in control; use protective stops and accept delayed quotes if needed.
  • Test the data to see if buys in uptrends typically open with or against you before changing behavior.
