How stepping back after losses can improve trading performance

[Emitdama]

Losses comes with a lot of emotional roller coasters and in some cases depression, if you are not careful this is capable of making traders take the wrong steps. it is important to step back for a while to allow yourself recover mentally. Still diving into trading after incurring lots of losses can make traders chase losses uncontrollably or as just as it's called "revenge trading" always take a break when necessary.

I think the roller coaster thing, comes even before a loss or even before a win is experience. And it must be the depression is the one that some experience right after a heavy loss. Being careful is good and a must but it won't always mean that we will now avoid making a wrong step.

We must only think positive and try to distract ourselves, so that we won't worsen the situation. If trader still insist to trade even after many losses, that already shows a quality of chasing losses but there there can be others too that we can say positive like they are only not giving up and they think they will do better this time as they equip their selves with something new, you know, knowledge, strategy, and the likes.

To be fair it's the "cronic" version that gets people. You could have bad days, you could even bad weeks or bad months, but when you have bad YEARS, that becomes a problem and that's when it all goes bad.

I have seen people, both in real life and in trading, where they had bad things happen to them every single month for not just a few months but for many years in a row. Recovering from that isn't easy and it is going to end up with a lot of problems for a lot of people and I am sure that won't be easy.

Trading is not about trading more. It is about trading better. this was right Trading isnt for everyone especially if you are deals with some leverage trading or other perpetual method. Leverage is carrying risk and yes I know the feel and the pain. Even you are spot trader at this level also carry a risk, if you dont have enough capital to do DCA.

you know that Michael Saylor also had ton of bitcoin and keep buying their average is 67K and now bitcoin is below that level that means saylor is losing money or their company is losing money. Bitcoin price is up and down like crazy latelly and react hard when there is a major newss.

Bear market is definetly knocking the door of the market

Of course trading isn’t about trading more or showing up each day trading and we are not getting better or making progress, trading is about getting better and making improvements and progress in our journey. Trading is absolutely difficult and Frustrating at times despite many people thinks of it as a easy way to make money but they are lacking the knowledge of how complicated and difficult trading is especially when a trader is so desperate in trying to name money and profits. 

Well we might be facing or seeing signs or bear market right now but this should just be a motivation for us and a big opportunity to accumulate at lower price for people that  might be planning on holdings and for traders, all they need to do is set up a strategy for downs trends and make good profits.

Trading may seem complicated to those who are new and see things as difficult to understand. But for those who have solved the problems related to the trading deadlocks they face, what needs to be done is just to adjust to what is happening in the market. If the market situation is not good enough for trading, or if there is still doubt, it is better to step back and not trade. 
The difficult part is not making a profit from trading, but controlling yourself to know whether to trade or to stay silent.

Not only those new to the system only felt trading as complicated but also some traders might be in the system for long but they could be facing a little complicated market movement at times and things might get complicated. There are some certain time where the market movement tends to be unpredictable and as we all know new market shift keeps coming most times that even many traders will see as new but true talk though experience traders always find a way to stay caution and positive in any market conditions. Many traders most especially the new ones lacks the ability to know when and where to quit the market or avoid trading, not knowing that not all opportunities are needed to be considered in trading market some are just traps.

These ideas sound simple, but when traders ignore them, they often end up becoming exit liquidity for more disciplined participants.

Some simple but important trading lessons I have learned include focusing on fewer markets, protecting capital through proper risk management, waiting for clear confirmations before entering trades, staying patient, and prioritizing consistency over excitement.

Trading is not about trading more. It is about trading better.

When you have fewer pairs you are focusing on, you are going to have your attention more focused and not scattered and disorganized, that will also help you concentrate better on those pairs you focused on, that will even make improvement easier and growth will become something that will happen without much stress as much as when you are trying to monitor to many trades and pairs all at once meanwhile you have Volatility to also put into consideration and the qualities of your trades are most definitely going to drop a whole great deal. it is always better to have a few quality trades you give some really quality attention and when you trade them you do it just right, you don't need too many pairs to be profitable, a pair or two can give you all of the profitability you are looking at trading.

This is true for any type of money making, the whole 80-20 rule applies here too. In most cases 80 of the trades you check will turn out to be nothing and only 20% of them will be good to trade. If you trade everything you can trade then you are not going to make any profit at all, in fact you are going to end up with a loss.

Most of the time people make this mistake because they have no idea what they are doing and they lose because they deliberately trade a lot to make profit because they assume that more number of trades means more profit but in practical, it is not working in that way. Yeah, that not the way to profit, if you want real profits at the end of the day, do less but better trades.

trading triggers our emotions no matter how much we try to control it so when you experience consecutive losses, you should take a step back this happens in sports as well a player may get benched so he can watch the game from afar and see how the other team plays objectively and he will see a fresher perspective from the bench

Someone who doesn't have experience in trading will be discourage immediately it falls into the victims of losing, but if you're determined in trading losing will not make you to leave trading entirely, neither you practice and know the rudiment of trading, sometimes, the more you loses in the trading the more you expand your experience....actually, losing scared some people away both trading and gambling, but you most be determined to achieve your objectives in trading....

Watching too many markets creates noise. Each pair has its own structure, volatility, and behavior. By narrowing your focus, you reduce decision fatigue and start to understand price action instead of reacting to it.

Actually an experience trader will observe the situation of the market, before entering in the market, but unexperienced traders will not observe the market volatility or the reactions of the market before entering the market, this are some of the factors that leads into loses, especially the novices in trading...

Losses cloud judgment, that’s normal taking a break helps reset your mindset and remove the emotional noise watching the market from the sidelines can teach you more than forcing another trade.

I'm not disputing the fact that taking break can update a trader the more...but i also want to let us know, that if you learnt trading properly before trading, you will not like to take a break in trading, because i believe that in trading, practice makes perfect.
