Every trader wants to learn how to trade more profitably. But could our very desire for winning be the biggest obstacle to us making money?
One thing that I thought would be interesting to share with you is a recent study I read on the behaviour of experienced vs inexperienced traders, particularly in relation to what they focus on.
Before I go any further, have a think about your trading and what you pay attention to in terms of your results.
Is strike rate the most important thing?
Are you only attracted by systems that claim an 80% strike rate?
Is making a winning trade more important to you than the size of your winning trades?
If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then you could be in danger of making a common beginner mistake. You might be motivated more by being right than making money. It's not all about winning.
