I genuinely don’t know what to do
Ive been trading for almost a year now. I trade Gold and was in a very good spot a month or two ago. The war started and ever since then, Ive been losing trades left and right.
It’s so frustrating and I feel like I’ve just lost all of my progress. I was even one day from a payout before!
Am I just making excuses by saying the markets are killing me because of the war or is there some truth to that? Regardless, Im not sure what to do. Even when I execute my strategy or have a great setup, something crazy happens out of no where. Tonight I just lost a trade and revenge traded/blew my account out of anger. I haven’t done that in months. Loss after loss, it’s so incredibly demoralizing, especially when I’m in such an irritating spot at work yk? I’ve tried to back test some more. I do pretty well on there, but total trash on the live markets. Im sure some areas of discipline are weaker than usual so Thats a self realized start line , but it feels like the markets are moving crazy lately.
Damnit I’m so frustrated.
Do I back test some more? I’ve already taken one, but do I take a break? Any advice would be amazing. Thanks
