First, Read About the Trader’s Mindset, Then Take the Quiz Questions Below

1. When my trade is losing, I don’t want to close it at a small loss: My mind refuses to accept the loss, so I wait for the trade to reach zero profit or a small profit before exiting. I focus on only closing trades in profit, which sometimes leads to bigger losses if the trade doesn’t recover.
2. I like to close my trades at round numbers, like $500: But sometimes, the market reaches $499 and then reverses, causing me to miss out on good profits because I was focused on hitting that exact number.
3. I trade without doing any analysis: I just place trades by looking at the chart without drawing any lines or doing any research. It feels like gambling to me.
4. I set a profit goal for the day: When I reach it, I feel really good, but then I start trading too much and end up overtrading.
5. I use high lot sizes and sometimes make big profits: But then I lose all those profits because I keep using high lot sizes, which is very risky.
6. Even when the market is moving in my favor, I can’t hold my trades for long: I tend to close them too early, missing out on potential bigger gains.

How to Change This:

• Practice patience: Try to hold your trades longer and avoid closing them too early. Don’t focus too much on round numbers like $500.
• Do your analysis: Before placing a trade, take time to analyze the market by drawing lines and doing research, instead of just placing trades based on a quick glance at the chart.
• Avoid overtrading: Stick to your profit goal, but once you reach it, avoid the temptation to keep trading.
• Use smaller lot sizes: This will help reduce risk and prevent big losses, even if you’re tempted by the possibility of big profits.
• Stay disciplined: Remember that trading is not gambling. It requires careful analysis, patience, and proper risk management to be successful.
