I propose to read a copy of the article from the mailing of Dmitry Boytsov. In my opinion, his thoughts are not meaningless.
"You can not trade well when you have in your head wrong expectations about the market. You need to know what to expect from it and from your trade. And these expectations must necessarily be NOT overestimated. High expectations are the cause of big troubles. Excessive expectations spoil all trading. It is often enough to change your expectations from large to smaller, how you will start making money in the market. And the only thing is that you will cease to feel the pressure "to make a high result" and when this battle for effectiveness disappears, you will reduce the number of committed psychological mistakes . And the less you lose money, the more you earn them. The thing is that ... When the nature of the market's behavior does not coincide with your overestimated expectations, you will come up with all the psychological problems: you will lose patience, you will become too active to trade, "recoup" , climb up the limit line of the loss limit for a day / week and will violate other laws of trade ...
You will go for it to adjust the reality to your exaggerated expectations, you will try with all your might to force the reality to be the way you need it to be. In the market you will not succeed. If today's trading day is very calm, then at least, but you will not change the one-million flow of orders to your side, you will not make the market trendy and volatile as you want it to be. This is beyond your control. Your expectations should be realistic. And if you expect less from the market than he is ready to offer, then you will be pleasantly surprised when he presents gifts in the form of favorable or even super-favorable conditions and profitable opportunities for your strategy. I realized that it is necessary to have correct expectations for days of the week, and for the weeks of the month. My system of expectations from the market boils down to about the following. As a rule: There will be one day in a week in which you will earn very well. In a week there will be a day in which you will earn quite a bit. The week will be the day when you are lost e dengi.V week will be a day when you will not trade, because of the dimness of the day and, accordingly, the lack of good opportunities. On this day you will save money. In the week there will be a day in which one of the above listed events will repeat again. Note, I did not write: every trading day will be very profitable or that you will earn money every day. In fact, in my system of expectations I have indicated all the options, their full variety, which will occur on the market in its normal normal state for a week. The presence of such correct expectations allows me not to charge myself for something: very profitable days or profitable days in each trading session. I expect all the diversity and do not get hung up on the desired. Expecting such market conditions, under which I will be in the red and in such conditions of the market, in which there will be no opportunities for entry and for earnings, I am already ready for their offensive mentally. They will not surprise me when they pass away, and I will not feel the need to force events and change the market situation by vain attempts to my ideal picture of the day. As for the month, everything is the same. As a rule, in the Month there will be: A week in which you will earn very well. A week in which you will earn a little. A week in which you will lose money. A week in which you will not trade or in which one of the above will repeat. These are the right expectations during the trade. They are realistic. If it turned out that reality was better than expectations, then very well. These positive short-term deviations are favorable and they will occur from time to time. As well as negative short-term deviations can and will happen. On a long-term distance, all short-term deviations are smoothed out and the expectations described above will most likely reflect the reality.
Why did I write all this? Knowing in advance your approximate way, knowing now what will be and what is possible during the week and month, you will be calm during the trade and nothing will surprise you. You will not fight the market, try to change the situation. You are already ready and you know that both the big and small profits you will definitely have.
You know that unprofitable days / weeks and days / weeks, when there will be no opportunities to earn, also happen to you. Instead of them, there will be dull periods of a protracted narrow or wide outset. If you trade with the right expectations, you will trade better, since you have already prepared yourself emotionally and mentally for this development of events, you have accepted and accepted with your head and soul all the market variety, probable realistic scenarios and do not cling to any one of them. You expect them all. You know that they will all be in the process of the week and the month. No one is upsetting, disappointed or surprised. All scenarios are already laid in your expectations. You look at the market realistically. We fight only when our expectations do not coincide with reality. When reality breaks and does not reflect our expectations, and everything goes not according to the optimistic plan we invented beforehand. Therefore, it is so important to have the right expectations in this business, under which you are open and do not resist anything from what is happening on the market.
