Pirms kāda laika, kad es sāku to darīt, es teicu savam draugam, ka es Dienas Tirdzniecību un mācos vairāk. Viņš tikai norakstīja mani un teica, ka tā ir azartspēle.
Tagad, kad esmu gandrīz peļņā, sarunā es pieminēju, kā man šobrīd klājas labi, un ceru, ka drīz varēšu saņemt savu pirmo izmaksu. Es jūtos stulbi, bet piedāvāju viņam nedaudz iemācīt. Tagad viņš ir “tik ieinteresēts” mācīties un tikai jautā, kā var saņemt izmaksas un tamlīdzīgi. Nezinu, kāpēc es to tik ļoti nožēloju.
Es nemelošu, es nedomāju, ka gribu kādu iesaistīt savā tirdzniecībā, jo man bija jāmācās/krāt vienam pašam. Neveiksme pēc neveiksmes.

Neuztraucos par dienas kustību, kas ir bijusi starp 50 un 250.. ne tuvu neinteresējos par svārstību tirdzniecību vai pārdošanu pie 100, 200, 300 vai 400. Apsvērtu atbrīvot, ja redzētu parabolisku kustību kāun tad uzkrāt vairāk pie jebkura krituma

Compounding in trading is what turns consistent performance into explosive growth. For example, if you start with $1,000 and make 35% per month consistently, after one year your balance isn’t $4,000 but over $36,600. That extra growth comes from your profits generating their own profits. Over time, this effect creates exponential acceleration even with moderate returns. But compounding isn’t only about making more; it’s also a powerful risk management tool. By risking a fixed percentage per trade, like 2%, your position size adjusts automatically as your balance changes, smaller after losses and larger as you grow, which keeps your exposure stable and prevents emotional mistakes. This approach smooths your equity curve, reduces pressure, and allows you to recover naturally from drawdowns. For example, a 10% loss only needs an 11% gain to recover when risk stays controlled. On the other hand, a bad trader who risks too much, say 10 to 20% per trade, experiences the opposite effect: volatility destroys compounding, drawdowns become devastating, and recovery becomes almost impossible. The secret is realizing that compounding rewards patience, not aggression. It helps you and forces you to take only high-probability setups because every unnecessary loss delays your exponential curve. At the same time, you shouldn’t let one, two, or even three losing trades confuse your long-term target. The traders who master compounding don’t just think about the next trade; they think in terms of hundreds of trades. Over time, that mindset turns discipline into freedom and small wins into something life changing

Every trader knows the golden rule…
Cut losers fast and let winners run!
Which makes sense on a quiet Sunday afternoon before the markets open. We tell ourselves confidently that this week we are gonna do that. But when that trade is open we do the exact opposite. We’ll sit there watching a losing trade bleed out like we’re waiting for some kind of divine intervention or something. We’ll move stops then justify it by telling ourselves “it’ll come back” but it hardly ever does. AND then the second a trade actually starts working??…..
We slam that close trade button like it’s about to self-destruct.
Tell me you’ve never thought this before…
“If I’d just done the exact opposite of my trades, I’d be rich.”
That’s not just a joke, it’s psychology because your brain is literally wired to prefer comfort over being right. Think about that for a second..
When a trade is losing, closing it means facing pain by admitting you were wrong. So you don’t close it and you hold, hope and wait for comfort to return. But when a trade’s winning, holding it means risking that comfort so you cash out early to lock in that relief.
We’ve all felt that. The inner voice like the devil on your shoulder. Causing impulse decisions in the moment that you later look back at and, from a now logical after the fact way of thinking, you can’t understand why you added to that losing trade, why you 10x’ed your revenge trade and why you closed that now 5R trade for 1R…
You’re not bad at trading. You’re just obeying the same survival instinct that kept humans alive for thousands of years: avoid pain, grab safety. The problem is that the market punishes both of those things and it rewards the opposite. Kind of like the emotional reverse.
So you should…
Cut a loser when it hurts the most to do so.
HOLD when it’s scary to lose what you’ve gained.
And that’s why the thought…
If I’d done the opposite…” stings so much.
Because deep down, it’s true!
The version of you that can act against your instincts is the version that will finally start to win.
