Stop Telling People About Your Trades

Stop telling people about your trades!

Most people feel an overwhelming need to fill any silence with words. If you keep telling others about your open positions, you are encouraging them to respond. Dr. Alexander elder says, 'Don't talk your book'. While you have active trades in the market, it is far better to keep this private, and not discuss your successes or failures with another living soul. You do not need to hear another person's response regarding your effectiveness or ineffectiveness as a trader.

The market will tell you soon enough. Your role is to introspectively work on yourself and your trading plan and not rely on others to sympathise or to congratulate. What other people thing about you is none of your business.

Yang Disampaikan Mr Louise dalam tulisan diatas sangat sederhana.
Bagi sebagian orang mungkin kurang penting tapi jika kita mau menelusuri lebih lanjut ada hal yang sangat krusial yang mungkin sering kita lupakan

Dengan menceritakan hasil trading kita ke orang lain, mungkin kita telah menyakiti orang lain itu. Kenapa begitu?? Jika kita bercerita kita sedang profit kepada temen yang kebetulan sedang floating loss hal itu mungkin akan membuat mereka sakit hati. Atau mungkin sama-sama dalam kondisi profit tapi anda punya posisi 1000 lot sedang teman anda cuman 5 lot. Hal itu juga bisa menyakiti teman anda.

Tapi hal yang paling penting sebenarnya adalah untuk menjaga agar penilaian kita ke market tetap objektif
