FOPTT (Fear of Pulling the Trigger)

[Cricketo 0]

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.
