Random article: The Many Faces of Greed

The desire to gain more is the most usual form of greed, which is also the easiest to recognize. For example, if for a certain strategy, 60% of winning trades are at 30.0 pips, while 30% are at 20.0 pips and only 10% are at 50.0 pips. If using this strategy a trader aims for 50.0 pips profit for every trade he/she places, then his/her decision is based or driven by greed. But greed can also come by a different facade. Prior to placing any order, a trader watches his/her chart for a certain “sign” as an opportunity to trade. When the sign is formed, the trader then looks for a “trigger” - confirmation that the said setup is valid and the opportunity to trade is real. And the trade is done in profit. Then the trader looks for another setup, wait for another trigger, and trades to gain another victory.

I have traded for five years. And have almost always lost. To say I have had no Luck is no lie. But that’s what makes me special. I never gave up. And through all the losses and pain I have become a better person and trader through the difficulty and by perseverance. I studied brilliant money management and Strategies which all work very well. I went on the worlds best courses and paid big money. There is a proverb: It says: “ why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of Wisdom when he has no heart for it.” I was the problem. Not the market. I was un-disciplined. I over leveraged. I got lazy and did not analyze sufficiently. And the main reason for that was that I got caught up inside the Old day trading scalping trap of trying to get involved in market movements that were not mature, ripe and well they just weren’t ready. I have learnt that to be successful in trading this market you need be patient. Waiting for a setup means the market will come to your entry and then you take the risk.
