Wiped Out!

Tonight my bank was wiped out. I have a total of 17p left.


This was caused by bad decisions, bad timing and greed.

I'm going to give trading a rest for a week or two.

Take a step back, deep breath you have lost your bank, regroup and set down some rules, i too in the past have lost (too much) and instead of stopping i carried on, now i if you read my blog if things go wrong i stop, i hate losing and because of this i have my limits, i run with £100 bank and take out the profit every couple of days.
Good luck, regroup come back with a new game plan.

Effective and profitable trading is a long learning process. I suspect you've learnt more from this loss than any wins you've had, I know I do.

You will come back stronger, better and more knowlegable now so, as Ronnie says, a deep breath, regroup and a new game plan we'll see you back soon

Good luck.

I guess this happens to everyone at some point in time. By it's very nature, betting means that we're gambling on uncertain outcomes.

I agree with your other commentees - you're doing the right thing in taking a break, so that you're ready to re-enter the battle again stronger and fitter.

Write a list of ironclad rules on an index card that you must never break when you are trading...this is a contract with yourself because self-discipline is everything for success.

Good luck
