Forex Tips : Fear of Losing

I like Robert Kiyosaki quotes :

 

Fear of "being" a loser affects what people "do" in strange ways. I have seen  people who bought a stock at $20, sell their shares when they reached $30 because they're so afraid of losing what they've gained, only to have the stock go to $100, split and go up to $100 again. That same person, having bought a stock at $20, will watch it go down to, $3 and still hang on, hoping the price will come back up... and they may hang on to that $3 stock for 20 years. This is an example of a person "being" so afraid of losing, or admitting they lost, that they wind up losing.
 

Winners "do" things almost exactly the opposite. Often, the moment they know they took a losing position, i.e. their stock price starts to go down instead of up, they will sell immediately and take their losses. Most are not ashamed to sly they took a loss, for a winner knows that losing is part of the process of winning, When they find a winner, they will ride it up as far as it can go. The moment they know the free ride is over and the price has peaked, they cut and sell.

Being a great investor is to be neutral to winning and losing. Then, you don't have emotionally driven thoughts such as fear and greed doing your thinking for you."


Do you know where to spot the moment they know the free ride is over and the price has peaked, they cut and sell in Forex?

I believe, everyone has fear, and everyone does have greed.

Fear can be overcome with experience, homework, and research. Of course, it is good to build up the confident stage by stage. Even in  business, some may be bankrupt, but this fear is a bit late to know. In forex, it's a matter of weeks and days, because everyday can bankrupt. But in business, most of the time, is being financed by the bank.

Mainly their fear of losing money because they could not afford the lose to get the lessons learnt, and haven't ready with any losses. Everyone believes everything is 100% profit.

Successful trader they know how hard work pays off, there is no easy money out there and they know what they are doing. In order to have greed, they have to overcome with fear. The larger the greed, the greater the fear. The first homework to do, is how to handle our fear, by studying or experience the losses.

"Success comes from failure", dealt with the failure or lose, and try our best to make it work. Every mistake is a step towards success.

 

Good Luck!
