At first glance, it looks like a doctor's office and you might think the title of the video is a joke, but there is actually a lot to learn from your ex when it comes to your trading, specifically how you manage your losing positions. By definition, a relationship with your ex is a relationship that seemed like it was going to work out, and did work at least a slightly different one. Perhaps, you thought you were going to understand each other and in the end you didn't, or perhaps, the expectation was that this time things would work but it ended up going wrong, maybe a third player appeared, it doesn't matter, the fact is that you started with a plan , or that it was "see what's up" and finally the thing ended.
And it's not that all the relationships you've had have been the same, of course, but if they've ended, they may still contain the seed of a lesson, a teaching about managing your losing positions.
You see, when you commit your capital to the market, you also do so with expectations, just like when you start a relationship you don't want things to end badly, but you know that this possibility exists. The question I would like to ask you is how have your relationships usually ended?
Many other people, however, cling to what they have like a burning nail, even if it hurts them. If this is not your case, surely you know who is or has been in that situation. From the outside, anyone in your environment sees it without a doubt: this relationship is not going well, but from the inside it seems that it is not capable of ending.
And something similar happens in trading, an operation taken with an expectation turns against you, and you continue to have hope, you continue telling yourself stories about what is going to happen, about how everything will be fine, you tell yourself that the price will recover, that it won't. it may be that he does what he is doing, that it is fleeting, that it is transitory, that the waters will return to their course.
A relationship that doesn't work out is like a dog's crap, which from afar looks like chocolate, the color is right and if it's been a while and it's cold it can be misleading, but make no mistake, it's shit.
If it is difficult for you to cut with your partners, you have a pending job to do, and if you endure losing positions in trading, I still tell you: the ball is in your court and you have to work on yourself, and remember once again, the key In this case, it is not about changing the system, the indicators or the market, it is an internal job.
