Early on the biggest frustration that I had personally as a trader was getting caught up in the fear of losing a trade. It use to eat me up inside almost to the point of mental paralysis. Once in this mind set it would keep me out of a trade that was good and keep me I a trade that was bad. Real profits were always eluding me. It took me a long time before I could take a loss in stride and reenter the market unscathed. Loss is in part a large and even essential part of trading. The sooner one can learn and accept loss as a part of healthy trading and work with it the better trader one becomes at trading successfully and consistently. One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Sir Winston Churchill
