FOPTT (Fear of Pulling the Trigger)

Recommended Posts

You can have the best technical equipment out there and the greatest strategy that works very well. However, if you are afraid to pull the trigger to a trade, enter therein and take a profit for fear of loss, you are a liability. I have always prided myself in having very little fear to enter a trade. However, something psychological happened to me in the past 10 months. I lost very few trades, and when I lost, it was very small amounts, as I set very tight stops. I can't put my finger on what happened to me, but I watch trades that I should be in make hundreds of dollars as I sit and stare. This happened to me somehow and somewhere in the last ten months. I have a mental block that has to be conquered. Please help me conquer this fear. I have to. I love trading. Trading means so much to me----its like breathing. I can easily pull the trigger in a simulated environment these days, but not in real-time. If ya'll can help me beat this irrational fear, I firmly believe I will be back in the saddle doing what I love best----making a nice income trading again.

Thank you for all the help you might be able to afford giving me. I enjoy your site.
