Amateurs on the other hand, become far too focused on ‘this’ trade or the results of their last trade, and they let it influence what they do on their next trade, i.e., they become emotional. Beginning traders will often try to avoid losses altogether by doing terrible things like trading without stop losses or hedging their trades or trying to ‘make back’ money they just lost on a trade. It’s critical that if you don’t learn to trade from me, whoever you learn to trade from teaches you how to understand the market, and doesn’t just give you entry / exit signals.
