I was asked how to overcome anxiety and fear of losing trades...
For thing we must do is to remind ourselves that we alone are the one in control of entering trades. Risk is nonexistent, until we are in a position. We must have a sound model in which we employ with our trades... not impulsive hunches or copying someone else.
We must control greed and this is by limiting the number of trades we are permitting ourselves in any given metric, e.g. - per week, day or session.
We must know our self, what causes us to go off the rails, or gives us too much of an ego driven mania. This can only be discovered in a systematic desensitization process of deleveraged executions with a single model, away from the witness and influence of anyone else.
Learning to be content with enough. As humans, we tend to covet what others have or can do. Accept the fact that you are learning to read the market well, over time.
It does not happen for everyone quickly and it is absolutely normal for you to feel as if it is taking longer than you want.
Submit to it and the time you personally require. This is self-control, not denial of success.
There are no shortcuts, no matter how anyone else markets it or promises.

People don’t know how crazy this is, they’re focusing on only the win rate, let me break it down. From 1992 to 2013, there were 21 seasons of football, and he won the league 13 out of 21 that means he lost the league only 8 times out of this he was second 5 times, and 3rd (3) times, he’s never finished outside a top 3 before. Well now we have Man U finishing 15th.
Matches played: 810
Wins: 528
Draws: 168
Losses: 114
Win percentage: 65.2%
Points: 1,752 (at 2.17 points per game)
Forget about the trophies for a minute, Just look at the longevity of excellence. Most managers just have a 3-5 year cycle or seasons they were just good and win the league, and it will be hard to replicate but not Ferguson, He rebuilt title-winning teams multiple times and still stayed ahead of the league.
He won with:
Cantona’s United
Beckham/Keane/Yorke era
Ronaldo/Rooney/Tevez era
then won again in 2013 with a team many people don’t even consider one of United’s best squads, lol he finished 11 points ahead with them
Premier League also changed massively during his reign:
from old-school English football into modern tactical football,
from 42-game seasons to 38-game seasons,
from Blackburn and Newcastle challenges to Wenger’s Arsenal, Mourinho’s Chelsea, then early oil-money City
Yet he remained he won through all of it.
he mastered every layer of football too:
man management
dressing room control
adapting generations
building winning culture
handling pressure
knowing when to rebuild
making average players become great
evolving assistants and systems around him
Fun fact: Manchester United have lost more games since Sir Alex Ferguson retired (143) than they lost during his entire 21-year Premier League era under him (114). 😂
Nah, That man is the Greatest Ever.
