Trading Psychology | Why Our BRAIN Makes Recovering from Loss SO HARD

[@panchakcorbin]

Bought XAI27H after watching your video, super excited! 💰

[@belindakeisha00]

Thanks for the advice! Got XAI27H, feeling bullish! 🚀

[@Blessedbythebestduetograce]

My first loss two months ago caused me to spiral. Loss after loss trying to make back what I lost. I’m so glad I’m watching this! Thanks for sharing.

[@chrisruval]

ROSS IS SO GOOD AND I HAVENT EVEN GOT WARRIOR TRADER YET WAITTING FOR A DISCOUNT LOL

[@3tradeweek]

Yeah I was green in October until the 24th then I had 12 losing trades in a row and finished the month in the red. I lost confidence and went into a spiral.

[@Laer3c]

I had my biggest loss so far yesterday. No trades today. This video came at a great time for me. Going in Monday with base hits as the goal. Thanks Ross!

[@DaytradeWarrior]

You got this!

[@jasonjimenez8715]

How much did you lose?

[@onthemoney7237]

It’s a good time to recover there’s money all over the place . 20 -25 MA , support and resistance , high and low of previous day , volume indicator and momentum stock picks , Heikin Ashi candles , level 2 1m 5m daily’s back check on the 180 2 hour that’s about all I use 👍🇺🇸

[@hbcdsniper8257]

Me too man I posted a similar comment and everyone told me I shouldn’t trade at all 🤣🤣 they assumed it was my first ever trade and I need to quit and use a simulator. sure you’ll recover tho man

[@CalanthaRosaleen-w8c]

XAI27H is still extremely undervalued

[@Stallionsound]

24:20 reminded me of the four steps of learning a skill Unconscious incompetence (I don’t even know what I’m doing wrong) Conscious incompetence (I know what I’m doing wrong but don’t know how to do it right) Conscious competence (I can do it right when focused on it) And finally unconscious, competence (i can do it right naturally)

[@DaytradeWarrior]

yes that's exactly right! That's what I was drawing on there.

[@hbcdsniper8257]

GOD ANSWERED MY PRAYER I took a 25 percent loss after 2 weeks of great trades I needed this thank you Ross been a warrior trading member for 1 year now don’t regret a secound

[@hbcdsniper8257]

Made abt 20 percent of the loss back now tho💪💪

[@RobertA-11-11]

I hope you’re not talking about losing and gaining 20%-25% of the size of your whole account? If that’s the case, then you need to stop trading and learn a risk management system before continuing (E.g. R-Multiples). Otherwise you will without a shadow of a doubt blow your account sooner or later.

[@RobertA-11-11]

👆🏼just an honest and friendly tip.

[@Drezzick]

​@@RobertA-11-11 agreed. Even if it's just 25% of a single position is insane! My losses are usually 2-3% where my gains are 2-15%

[@infinitelyllc]

Hey...me too! Not the loss part though. Nice to see another warrior here ❤

[@wilwallce6824]

I went from 0 to over 10k in the market and made enough to pay off all my debt. -To whomever needs to hear this, don't give up. You too, can do it.

Congratulations! Keep going!

[@drock5108]

How long did it take u? And how long did it take u to start using real money?

[@StockSlicer]

Third! I can related to big losses. It messed me up mentally. I always go back to analyze my trades and learn from it. Starting this year I’ve narrowed it down to 3-4 setups. Ross made a great point about mental game.

[@YiLi-xs6ft]

you, have, no , idea, how badly i needed this video ross (in tears right now) i just took 2 BIG BACK TO BACK RED DAYS here, i have crossed 100k earlier this year but have been strugglign to break out for months, I took a - 24k day yesterday and 8000 today. i was up 6k on aren at 7am i shuold have walked, stayed till 4 pm and OVER TRADED myself into the red. i AM SO FRUSTRATED i threw my pen and note pad at the wall. it is so devasting because I crossed 100k about 5 times now and keep going back under by HUGE RED days

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Hey it sounds like you are chasing your p/l try and let go of crossing that level again and just trade what is in front of you .. if anything at all!

[@Caveman787]

Notice how much that $24k was of your ENTIRE account. Remember how many have stated risk NO MORE than 1% of your account on any trade. Clearly you were looking at going to far to fast. That $100k no doubt took a long time....slow down $1K every trade for 100 trades gets you there better and much more likely than risking so much to try it in a trade or 2.

[@YiLi-xs6ft]

@@DaytradeWarrior thanks ROSS!! i think i abolutely need to trader rehab myself. I was swinging hard and missing by a far margin. sigh time to go back to making 200-300 a day.

[@fastrakn1]

I've been scalp trading since 97, and have never had a big loss. I think it is because I am not greedy. Big losses come from greed. People push it too much because they want/expect to make huge sums of money....

[@infinitelyllc]

so...😮

[@fastrakn1]

@infinitelyllc So I think it was on a Thursday, but maybe it wes Tuesday, not sure. I'll buy it later....

[@jackoverton8343]

​@@fastrakn1have you been full time trading since 97?

[@fastrakn1]

@@jackoverton8343 Yes, I started in 97. After about 2 weeks I decided I liked scalping the best, so have been scalping ever since. Not full time though. I only trade pre market, and up to about the first 2 hours of regular market. After that I work my home and shed building business for the rest of the day.

[@Saronnagay]

I've been in a downward spiral for a few days, then had a nice green day and back on the downward spiral again. Your video is perfect timing! Stopping the bleeding, implementing the trading plan and beginning recovery now! Thank you!

[@DaytradeWarrior]

Yeah it is important to enforce it for as long as you can without getting back in to the spiral of losses again

[@xMobombax]

Ross I’ve been on a 6 day green streak, after realizing what I’ve been missing in the trade processing and why I took certain trades that costed me a huge loss. This was very relatable, and I appreciate your value to the community.

[@DoktorKross]

This is great to watch for me. I took some losses and spiraled last week extending to Monday and Tuesday this week. I took the rest of the week off trading and seeing this video is such a big relief...

OMG! Ross! you're such a great teacher and you give everything you know. I'm so grateful for you!

[@jasonenyart1262]

I was part of Warrior and this exactly describes my June 2024 blow up that forced me out of trading until next year. Since June, I’ve been doing a deep dive on why, looking at my behaviours, pouring through records of my trades, etc. The result? The psychological/emotion needs I brought INTO trading made a deadly blind spot that crippled my best efforts, leading to a spiral. Every loss got magnified. Time away is helping me recenter and focus on the headspace I need to be in before my triumphant return! Thanks for covering this, Ross!

[@chulhochang]

what were the "psychological/emotion" needs that you brought into trading?

[@sailingonasummerbreeze7892]

It does not get any more real than what Ross said. I had 2 down days in a row...looking at an overall down market last 2 days. I fell to my emotions as well...nice to have someone on this journey.

[@shawnshawnmoviereviews]

great info Ross. I have a "restricted trading" tab in my tracker. I immediately size to super small levels until P&L and W/L are positive, then slowly scale. I learned the hard way early in the year fighting the urge to size down 3 weeks, so painful. Still recovering, but at least I got guardrails now.

[@hellojosef]

This happened to me 2 weeks ago. Been steadily rebuilding since then, and today am more confident than ever. Acct up 5% on ASST today.

[@madmessm1845]

Thanks Ross! I have more of a Freeze effect than a Fight effect, after losses, I just do not pull the trigger. I hesitate too much. For example, I didn't pull the trigger on SPPL today. Why? :D 2 penny stocks before got nicely over 1 USD and I just hesitated on the SPPL today! I feel that there is a difference between men and women in their amygdala reaction. While men usually fight, women freeze.... at least I freeze more than I fight. Your openness is great ! It helps so many people to provide the real picture of trading. have a great weekend!

[@sandramulvihill8058]

depends on when and what you traded... AREN was up more than 200%, I got $379 on that alone. SPPL, TCBP and ASST also had decent moves. Definitely not what we saw a couple of weeks ago, but I wouldn't call it particularly slow either

(“Don’t be cutting grass in a hurricane” Ross ) going to remember this saying because it’s true if the day is bad don’t trade or trade small it’s not worth the big red day or big loss in real life as well as trading that hurricane can either hurt to where you never recover or kill you to where your now dead your trading dream goals aspirations are now gone and buried

[@alextrigger8199]

So, where do you guys catch the price when it's falling? For example when we had a run up and then it fails and starts going down? My experience so far is: A+: 200 EMA on 1M - almost always holds and bounces the first time price gets there A: VWAP - also bounces in most cases (but will likely fail if MACD is already closed?) B: Established strong support levels - these are 50/50 - sometimes can hold but other times not C: 1M 20 EMA, whole/half dollar - these are usually not well respected when price is falling - most of the time goes right through them Your observations?

Does the paper trade account give me an unrealistic idea of how easy it will be to buy shares? Thanks, Robert

Today and yesterday were both red after a decent green streak, but I was cool with it. I've increased both my accuracy and loss reduction every day over the past month, overall a great upward trend. Every loss is another metric to study and improve from.

[@hmsverdun]

Thanks for your course. THis certainly something that I have gone through in the last few days. However fortunately as a beginer trader I have followed your advice and am only doing it in a simulator so can only lose paper money. I am discovering that I can win the first micorpull back move but getting out to early and them and trading back in when i should walk out with simulated profit. I think I am going to go into virtually trading only that move to start and watching how to do the back of it for the next few days and see if this improves my virtual esults so I can watch if i can get in on the other moves with less emotion.

[@alextrigger8199]

Someone mentioned "quantum price" couple of weeks ago - i.e. when you hold a red position that you didn't sell for some reason, the price tends to go up just 1-2 cents short of your breakeven point but never really reaches it. I can 100% confirm that's true 🙂
