Thread: Diary of a trader without emotions

What do you think about operating important macro news, do you do it or do you prefer to stay out?

I operate news only if I already have a previous position with clear management. I do not open anything blindly waiting for miracles.

Looks like you've got your system tied up, how long did it take you to get to this level?

Years. Not for lack of knowledge, but for lack of operational maturity. The system had it before, I was not ready.

Most people think they need a better system, but what they really need is to stop sabotaging.

Exactly. Indiscipline is more dangerous than any technical failure, and it doesn't fix itself with indicators.

Don't you get bored operating without emotions? Mm-hmm. Part of the charm of trading is that adrenaline...

I don't operate to entertain myself, I operate to make money, the one who wants excitement to go to a casino.

Have you had long streaks in negative? How do you manage it?

Yes, and I manage them by reducing the risk in half. I focus on execution, not on recovering quickly.
