During periods of stress, you will probably overlook details and second-guess your analysis.
When you experience a loss and are under pressure, you may persecute yourself mercilessly and even propel yourself into a mini-depression.
This is especially true if you’ve had a trauma in your past of some sort.
In this episode of Talking Trading, Louise Bedford shares the specific methods you can use to recover when you’re struggling with the grind of trading, or dealing with the shocks the market sometimes serves up on a platter.
Often in life, we are either spiralling up or we are spiralling down in attitude. If you keep making poor trading decisions while in a vulnerable situation, you will only add to your own negative mindset.
There will always be opportunities in the market.
So, if you can learn to step aside when your mindset isn’t right, and to bounce back after you’ve hit a patch where it all seems too hard… your equity curve will move into positive territory again.
Louise will take you through specific methods to deal with the STUFF of life.
