#TradingPsychology đ¤I Was Obsessed With Winning Every Trade â Until I Realized Thatâs Not the Game đ
Letâs be real⌠I used to think being a good trader meant winning every trade.
One red candle and I'd spiralâdoubting my system, overanalyzing, revenge trading.
It took time (and losses) to finally understand:
âYouâre not supposed to win every trade. Youâre supposed to win the game.â
How Not to Win Every Trade⌠But Master the Art of Winning
That line changed everything for me.
Because chasing perfection in this game is the fastest way to burn out and blow up your account.
Now? I focus on one thing: edge + execution.
I donât care if I lose 4 out of 10 tradesâif the 5th and 6th are clean, controlled, and managed well, Iâm green.
The Candlestick That Taught Me This: The Shooting Star
I remember shorting a shooting star at resistance once, thinking I caught the top.
It reversed⌠for a second. Then it pumped.
I didnât wait for confirmation. I just wanted to be rightâand paid the price.
That day taught me something deep:
Even the cleanest pattern fails. The win comes from how you handle it.
Cut it quick, no emotions, move on. Thatâs what pros do.
What I Do Differently Now:
â I donât aim to win every trade. I aim to manage every trade.
â I predefine riskâalways.
â I focus on process > outcome.
Key Reminders (from someone still learning too):
đ¸ Stop trying to be right all the timeâitâs not about ego, itâs about execution.
đ¸ One good trade doesnât define you. Neither does one loss.
đ¸ Mastery is boring, consistent, and emotionless. But it works.
Youâre not here to be perfect.
Youâre here to grow, adapt, and get sharper with every setup.
Master the art of winningânot by avoiding losses, but by handling them like a pro.
How do you handle your trades?
