@yurystart I am seeing xiaomi is kinda close to the KL and xpev too but nio still has some ways to go. Thinking either nio is stronger,thus the 1M wont come or it comes and xpev and xiaomi drop lower? Thoughts?
Everyone shows off and gets loud when they’re on a winning streak, I myself included do this.
But very little will talk about the losing streaks. How one handles “too many” losses in a row, facing a steep drawdown - the loss of confidence in your own system and the beginning of second guessing entries you would not before.
Losing is inevitable. It’s part of the game, if you can’t take loses you should quit while you’re ahead. But even accepting loses can start to get to you once they start to overlap.
I’m not talking about blowing accounts, instead the psychological affect. The assumption is that risk is handled appropriately, saving you from large drawdowns and furthermore damage. But that alone won’t save you from the mind when the very system that built your confidence starts to destroy it.
The best systems and every profitable system I’ve come across, have one thing in common. That’s intuition, which is their edge. If your system is built on a prolonged track record that proves yourself profitable - it is still statistically more inclined to the probability of a positive expectancy. If you have something to work with, to support a thesis in which you can survive and bounce back from your losing streaks/drawdown - then continue to trust that system. If in some nearby reality keeping your edge still results in negative expectancy, you were never profitable. The system was inherently flawed to begin with.
Profitable traders start to crash once that intuition goes away. When the losses start to pile up, they start looking at technical reasons on the chart for where they went wrong. But they forget that’s not what gave them their edge, it’s that “gut feeling” that others don’t have. Are you losing because of technical reasons, or are you losing because of psychological reasons ? If technical, it’s simply part of the regular process. But many realize too late it was their intuition slowly diminishing, resulting in the loss of their edge and their behavior changes. Executing away from confidence and instead towards fear of losing money that was never gained from what they now base the foundation of their trading on.
This is why journaling is so important, but also correct journaling. Tracking your emotions and seeing the metrics beyond the lenses of PnL #’s that impacted your overall trading performance. There’s a difference between journaling to find mistakes and journaling to find yourself. The best is knowing what mental state you were in during your best and worst trades, not the technicals on a chart.
Start trading like you’re not on a losing streak, because based on a long term track record (if there is one), you are not losing - instead profitable since inception. Just trade what you see. Losing streaks are no different then winning streaks, the outcomes of past trades do NOT impact the probability of your next trade.
A losing streak does not change your expectancy, it changes your behavior - which WILL change your expectancy. Those who survive long term are the ones who’ve been through it enough times to recognize it for what it is while it’s happening.
Trust that system, recognize behavioral patterns instead of technicals. Just trade normally. Also, consider taking mind breaks as well. Step away and relax your brain, go on vacation etc..
The whole MT community is winning in their own way.
