[00:02] chart, literally trading non- stop, be very careful. You're probably falling into the trap of overtrading. Basically, overtrading is when you trade too much. This happens when you open many trades in a single day, driven not by
[00:18] technique, but by emotion. Whether it's due to the anxiety of wanting quick profits in a short period of time, or greed, or perhaps an inability to accept loss and a desire to recover losses all the time. The result, needless to
[00:35] say, you already know. A series of frustration. If you want to stop this once and for all and improve your
[00:48] progress in the financial market, here are three basic tips. Tip number one: have a clear management system, perhaps a technical management system established based on the number of entries per day. For example, making two entries a day,
[01:03] three entries a day, or even just one entry a day , will make you more aware of exactly what you need to do to successfully manage do to successfully manage your budget. Tip number two:
[01:16] strictly follow your setup, filters, and triggers. When you do this, you stop making random entries and start operating like a professional, start operating like a professional, who only acts at exactly the right moment.
[01:29] Tip number three: once you've hit your goal, whether it's a game or a loss, grab your a game or a loss, grab your stool and quietly leave. Go live your life, get away from the graph, close your computer, and that's really the best
[01:42] way for you to avoid going through this process. Did this video make sense to you? So comment below if you've ever experienced this and share it with that friend who's a trader, who needs to hear this too.
