I have been using the same trading strategy for 2 years. But I realized that I still worry about my trades. So I decided to fix it.
Of course if you are an inexperienced trader or you just start using your strategy then you should not be confident about your decisions. You have a little experience and/or poor skills so you sometimes make mistakes. There is no reason to feel guilty because of this but you can’t also ignore it.
But if you have a experience then worrying about trades has no sense.
Why?
Reason 1. Because it makes trading unpleasant
If you worry about something then you focus on some unpleasant scenarios. It makes trading less pleasant. Because of that you your creativity may not support your trading and you may quit trading and find more pleasant way of making money.
Reason 2. Because you waste your time
You may spend one year analyzing a single trading and worrying about it. But it will not make you decisions better. It is proven that people make the best decisions when they are focused on the key issues and use their intuition.
Reason 3. Because it doesn’t improve your decisions
When you are an experienced trader then you focus only on few key issues. You don’t have to worry about other things like inflation or unemployment in Brazil. You know which information is enough to make money.
Reason 4. Because you must sometimes lose
Losing is a part of the game. You can’t always win.
Do you worry that you must pay taxes? No? So stop worrying about your losses.
