What to focus on to become profitable?
Thread 1/8💬
3/8 [example]
On example of the scheme, you can see that the divergence between potential and actual performance is 10R.
4/8 [Concept]
PPG consists of demons and other mental barriers, which you need to overcome, for example: fear, closing trades early, overtrading etc.
5/8 [error]
The main mistake - traders focus on money/account gain instead of focusing on demons. It is the same as when basketball player focuses on points instead of technical skills - in this case, he is more likely to lose the game.
Profitability is a byproduct.
6/8 [How to fixit]
Gamification - one of effective ways. Your demons are your enemies, every killed demon brings you 1R on average.
7/8 [How to kill the demon]
Structure:
1) Identify demon. Example: Fear of execution
2) Specify why exactly it is negative. Example: Missed 10 profitable trades within month, thus not profitable.
3) Identify triggers/reasons.
8/8 [End]
Example: trigger - raid against the setup; reason - not accepting the risk.
4) Identify solutions. Example: checklist will help to execute better, learn to accept the risk by lowering it first.
5) Analyze results and repeat.
