objectively just like you did before you
started trading
You must reprogram your mind to see the
market as neutral without any hidden
agendas or negative motives

Basic Human Psychology
Our society conditions people so that when
they get the right answer they know they are
doing something right and when they get the
wrong answer they are conditioned to believe
that they are doing something wrong

Principle Does Not Work In Trading
The mind believes that by holding on to a losing
position there is a chance that the position could come
back
If the position comes back then the traders obviously
made the correct decision and therefore he is a good
trader
Conversely, when traders are in a winning position
they quickly take profits so that they can feel like they
made the correct decision
Notice That Being Right Is The Major Concern

Being Right And Making Money
Profitable trading is based on risking winners so that
they become bigger and liquidating losers quickly so
that they don't become bigger
Beginners cut winners so they don’t turn into losers
and risk losers so that they potentially turn into
winners
