The mistake number one is not reduction of losses

Many traders know that very often one or two unsuccessful trades can destroy all previous profits made within a present day, a month or a year. It is in the order of things to hear something like that: “I made 10000 of US dollars last month, but then I had two unsuccessful trades and I have incurred double losses because of these unsuccessful trades”. Or “If I had got rid of the securities of XYZ, I would have had 50 percents more last year”.

The reasons of increase of losses are various, but the most general are those that traders do not want to admit that they are wrong in the chosen position. Really, a pair of successful transactions can make your month, as well as that a pair of unsuccessful transactions may not only destroy the successes of this month, but also of the previous one. If you intuitively or by a calculation way have found out that the big losses brought damages to your portfolio then the curve has thrown down a challenge to you.

You are simply mechanically focused on the process of incurring of losses, proving to yourself that you can easy accept the losses that is the resulting operation of “stop losses”. You concentrate on the work without “account conducting” of profit and losses.

Good traders do not create rules of probabilities, they live on them. And one more true about probability in trading is that you will inevitably lose, thereby having exhausted the portfolio if you will not stop it the first.

Effective techniques (at any time frameworks) is moving of your “stop loss” to the make out as soon as the first possibility appears, then maintenance of “stop loss” for profit preservation is given. In other words, so quickly, how much your position becomes profitable, move your “stop loss” to an index point. It will protect you from loss of money on the given position and while the position varies in your direction, move yours “stop loss” to protect half of your profit. If the profit increases to certain quantity and is then reduced more than half – close this position. Many techniques can be used, but a key is the presence of the system of limiting losses.

This system is similar to the insurance. And though its price is high, there is a reason: the error can cost to you of all.
