Been trading online for a while now and had some success, but since I started with futures, it’s like everything flipped upside down. It’s bizarre for real... I’m not blaming anyone for my losses, just curious if anyone else feels the same.
If you're losing consistently, maybe it’s your strategy that's off. It’s not just about market direction. Maybe you’re getting taken out by small pullbacks or entering at the wrong times.
Sounds like someone’s not analyzing properly. It’s like you’re just hoping for luck. Trading isn’t a game of chance... you gotta have a strategy, not just emotional trades.
Lol, maybe just trade the opposite of what you think. You’d probably do better! But seriously, it’s not a coincidence if you keep getting caught at reversals.
I face that too, but I only trade when I see a solid setup. It’s frustrating how the market can hit your stop loss right away. But yeah, there's a lot of stop-loss hunting going on.
Psychological factors are huge in trading. How many trades have you done? If it’s under a thousand, it’s hard to draw conclusions. You need a bigger sample.
Did you even have a strategy before diving in? Going in blind is just asking for trouble. Trading has its ups and downs, but if you’re clueless, you’ll just keep losing.
You said there’s no greed involved, but if the market keeps wiping you out, how's that possible? If you’re not over-leveraging, a small move shouldn’t wreck you.
Maybe we should all just counter-trade you. Just set your targets, use stop-losses, and don’t watch the market constantly. The emotional swings will mess you up.
I tried to enter a position the other day and it felt like the market was mocking me. I closed at break-even, but the price shot up right after. It’s frustrating for sure.
