Wouldn't it be great if 100% of your trades were profitable? Of course it would. You'd never lose any money and you'd be on your way to easy street. You can run into real trouble with trying to force 100% or even just forcing wins and I'm the case in point. I was reviewing my trades for the week and I took more big losses this week than I ever have so obviously things are going in the wrong direction. Chasing, FOMO, etc are factors for entering the trade, but why am I not getting out quickly? Because I'm hoping they come back and in this crazy market sometimes they do, but it's a really nasty habit to pick up. I had some really nice profitable trades that would've dwarfed small losses, but instead I'm down $1500 on the week. I haven't studied enough and need to get focused on patterns and not just the volatility. I've also been trading without defined risk levels which is a contributing factor also. Time to improve my process and become a better trader. Studying all weekend.
