Re: Can't teach old dogs new tricks
Using last experience to predict the next trade outcome --This is possibly the most frustrating way of trading. Learning from the last trade and thinking that the next trade will result the exact same way. This lacks the element of flexibility but actually rigid way of thinking in approaching the market. Instead of evaluating the entire sets of past trades, using the last one and carry the emotional baggage to the next one will one add more baggage to distort the reality in the next trade.

In childhood, we learn not to touch the stove once we got burned. We use that last experience not to repeat it. But we come to use it with respect and caution. The problem is that the market is so dynamic that the experience could have many factor affecting that result. Approaching the market with open mind and flexibility would better the chance of understanding the market and use it to take profits from it.
The sum is greater than its parts.

Re: Can't teach old dogs new tricks
CONTROLLING SELF-DESTRUCTIVENESS is very important

Trading is a very hard game. A trader who wants to be successful in the long run has to be very serious about what he does. He cannot afford to be naive or to trade because of some hidden psychological agenda.

Unfortunately, trading often appeals to impulsive people, to gamblers, and to those who feel that the world owes them a living. If you trade for the excitement, you are liable to take trades with bad odds and accept unnecessary risks. The markets are unforgiving, and emotional trading always results in losses.
