Ugh, not happy about my trading performance for this quarter at all! If you take a look at my first few trades of the year, I guess you can say that I was off to an okay start as I was able to exit early when I had to or move my stop to entry to minimize losses.
However, things took a really bad turn when I chalked up a full loss on an AUD/USD short in February then decided to play it extra safe with my next trade ideas. So safe in fact that I didn’t even take the setups at all! A couple of those could’ve been profitable ones had I mustered the courage to take the risk but I think I really need to work on reviving my trading confidence at this point.
Got any other tips that could help me improve my trading this second quarter? Let’s hear ’em!
Cheers,
