pfftt...been wondering the same thing myself...
Adding to positions that have not actually went anywhere probably isnt helping...
I was only moaning about my win/loss ratios over this recent bad habit the other day but it's not just the win/loss ratio that gets hurt. Out of the 5% down this week, and in my own opinion/perception without looking at the stats, I reckon if I just cut out adding to positions that are still pretty much at the same price I already just entered at, then it would have been... 2% loss?>, not 5%
I don't find myself so frustrated at my trading stupidity often, but this week...
Have you ever felt like punching yourself? in your own nose? Hard!?
It was only 1 week out of 30 thus far... but still... I am my own worst critic... I feel like I should heavily penalise myself, in a trading sense
not in a kinky way... not that I have anything against kinkyness
but yeah... I feel I am beyond the point of making such mistakes as I already came across it many times over the months when reading/studying.
Anyway...
On a side note.
I actually thought the NFP was last Friday!
I wasn't trading last Friday so that was the last I thought about it until I was doing some looking forward for this week gone.
I thought it was the first Friday of every month?
