“One of the keys to a trader’s success was not the results of a trade but rather how a trader reacted to the results of a trade.” – Dan Gamza

Why me? Why did this happen to me? Those are some of the questions that disturb losing traders. After a series of losses, some of them develop hatred for trading. Suffering that results from negative trades, drawdowns and margin calls can make people easily disappointed in trading.

Nonetheless, no matter how bad your trading is, it could’ve been worse. No matter how bad things are, there are still some reasons to be thankful, if you can think deep.

There are events that move the markets and which professionals focus on. These events often are filled with uncertainties, bringing profits and losses to people. Just some months ago, Greece was a hot topic, and speculators were mulling opening positions on the seemingly overextended markets, but some had serious misgivings. At times, the stakes may be higher than the rewards.

There Is Really Nothing Like Losses
There is really nothing like losses, for what brings losses to some people is what brings profits to others. The market moves up or down – not losing up or down. When you buy EURUSD and it goes up, you win (but a seller will lose). When you sell AUDJPY and it goes up, you lose (but a buyer will win). When you enter a direction in the market and it moves seriously in your favor, all those who go in that direction will make money, provided there are no wide differences in their entry prices.

What you call losses is what brings profits to some people. What you call profits is what brings losses to some people.

People Don’t Learn Their Lessons
Despite well-meaning efforts to solve the problem of loss, there are millions of traders around the world who’re still losing because of dangerous trading habits. People don’t learn their lessons.

During a funeral process, many attendees will be remorseful, thinking about the brevity of life and futility of wickedness, anxiety, love of money and so on. But once the funeral is done, you’ll see many of those attendees living their lives as if they’d not die again.

Too many traders lost in the past because they didn’t use stop loss on live and simulated accounts. When they come back to trading, you’ll see them using the same trading approaches that led to their downfall the last time, namely, high lot sizes and no stop loss. People don’t learn their lessons.

Traders who test new trading ideas on demos don’t use stops; and I wonder how that idea can survive on live accounts in the long haul, because they may apply it to a demo account once they’ve been lucky enough to gather some gains.

A Way Out?
After many years of grappling with the markets, traders who complained in the past may later show their gratitude; and for the fact that the markets cannot be blamed for what happen to them (though we may feel disappointed sometimes). There are days when they become sad, and they complain when they think of their seeming helplessness. Nonetheless, they’d have come to understand that the markets don’t set out to punish individuals.

Interacting with good traders as well as reading about super successful ones would’ve made them stronger psychologically and kept their spirits up.

Reflecting on a possibility of a risk-free trading approach reassures those who’re currently losing. Good trading coaches care about them, knowing full well that the end of their struggles is in sight. Focusing on such hope can give a trader the fortitude to endure certain negativity now.

Conclusion: Are you disappointed in trading? Well those who currently make loads of money from trading were once disappointed at some time in their careers. Those whose marriage is now successful were at one time, frustrated by their spouse. But these people, for example, profitable traders (as well as happily married persons), looked for solutions to their problems and apply those solutions faithfully. That doesn’t mean they’re luckier or better than others: that means they’re able to overcome the causes of frustrations and disappointment in their careers.

We should never be disappointed while we are in business because ups and downs are the part of the business and sometimes we get profit and sometimes we face loss in this business so we should always remain dedicated towards our job and never to be disappointed especially after having some kind of loss in our trades so show always remain positive minded and keep your thinking in a positive direction so that you can have a positive result in your trades.

Like anything else, outstanding comes by the hand of a tremendous effort. Outstanding performance in trading too.
 
Trading is a pursuit of the long term and this doesn't sit well with many who come into it. There will always be ups and downs along the way in the same way doctors, lawyers, engineers etc have while cutting their teeth.
 
yes, because the market can be volatile, there is always the risk of losing money when trading a currency pair. In addition to the inherent risk linked to trading, with Forex trading you need to add margin trading and leverage, which means that you can trade large amounts with little initial capital.
 
No, definitely not disappointed. I'm not rich yet, but I have learnt a hell of a lot of valuable lessons. Love the journey

I was dissatisfied and disappointed early doors when I thought it would be a lot easier to learn, but then that’s the challenge
 
Losing money is inevitable at some points if you're going to trade, that's a given. As long as you're still profitable and not underwater, then it's worth it to an extent. I think of it in the way that someone would invest in a business they wanted to start, because it takes money to make money.
 
When I drain a lot of money, I have an independent struggle with depression – a difficult and not always effective occupation. Travel, sports, hobbies, giving up bad habits, proper nutrition and communication with loved ones will help to improve the condition. It is impossible to get rid of severe depression alone – here you will need the advice of a specialist: a psychologist, a psychotherapist or a psychiatrist who will most likely advise CBD gummies canada. Group classes, psychotherapy and antidepressants selected by the attending physician are also effective.

It really is i think that's why so many dont last in trading the idea of losing money even though being up long term doesnt sit well with people at all
