Hi, my name is Anna and I've finally decided to throw myself under a train and start a journal. I've been reading a lot of threads here, thank you Mike and all the contributors - I've learned a lot! Now it's time to put this into practice.
I get great results while backtesting, but trading real money is not working well for me. When I'm in a "zone", I trade well, but when I'm not, it's terrible. I think now I better underhand what my problems are and what I need to do to fix them. I believe that my greatest obstacles to making money consistently are my fears, mainly FOMO - Fear of missing out and FBR - Fear of being wrong.
I think the way to control them is to be present in the NOW moment and to focus on the process, while expecting and being vigilant against emotional hijacking to avoid pain, discomfort and anxiety. This is what my brain often does and this is what I need to work on.
