Commentary:
If a trader gets into a stock and the stock moves against the trader, the trade should be over. That "ought" to be it. But, sadly, so often it's not. We think we know why.
Look, people are generally taught to WIN, not lose. So, much emphasis is placed on "win-loss records." We believe that trades should be looked at for what they are, business decisions.
Forget "win/loss." Think, "make money", or "conserve money." (warning: over-used baseball analogy on the way...)
In baseball, an all-star player bats .300. That means 7 times out of 10 the player did NOT get a hit. However, the times he DID get a hit are what count. In the stock market, it is OKAY to have more trades go against you than not. It is NOT okay to lose more money than you make. We suggest rigorous use of stop/losses to conserve cash. Don't try to be a hero and turn every trade into a winner. Accept that some (if not most) trades may "go against" you and learn to revel in your "lack of success."
