Hi Pipsters
Great idea Zak, will be getting up early with my sunglasses on to view your words of wisdom.

It seems that we have all found it difficult last week, I ended up with a small loss and with the market the way it is am going to try and look at some trading with the longer timeframes.

Over the weekend I have read a few articles on greed and fear as a trader, here is a brief summary, all of which i am guilty of :

Jumping in too early, before the markets given a clear direction - Greed.

Jumping into a trend too late - Fear of missing the move

Getting out of positions too early, only to see them continue in the direction you were hoping for - Fear

Staying in positions too long, and watching the markets take back some of your profits -Greed

Closing a position for a loss, only to see it reverse and go back to your break even straight away - Fear

I think its important to sometimes look at our entry and exits to decide whether we are being controlled by the above, or, our stategy/trading plan.

Bloom and Bills post relating to proper record keeping here is very relevant.

Anyway lets all hope for a better run up to Christmas, good luck next week everyone ( luck ????)
