Morning Michael,

Made my decision to start trading at the beginning of March and have been a member of a trading site since the beginning of May at this time I’m now familiar enough with the various software indicators and have an understanding of price action I have found three strategies that I want to learn and am currently testing them on [software name; read more] the one I’m actually doing at the moment is a trend surfing strategy so I downloaded the audible book The Complete TurtleTrader which has led me to you. The answer to your question “what is the biggest challenge with my trading” is I don’t actually know yet and that I’m still exploring and investigating so much it hard to say.

A good start.

Hi there,

My biggest challenge is resisting the urge to try and legitimize my emotional responses as other than emotional responses. For example, I take a position and the stock drops immediately. Day 1 is explained by volatility. Day 2 triggers intuition to sell, but I “know” my choice is right so I stay in. Day 3 is a “red day” in the market so the drop isn’t about my decisions; it’s just the market. Day 4….well my decisions were correct so there’s an endless stream of “rational” reasons that allow me to preserve my decision choice while losing money. Now I realize two things 1. It was always about fear, hope, and ego, 2. None of it matters in trend following because, if I had been trend following, I would have had a plan and been out on day 2. Otherwise, a lesser challenge is mining the work of trend following for how to start with smaller account.

Cheers,
Mark
