A golden rule of negotiation is not betting the house. In other words, minimize business risk.
One of the cardinal sins for trade of any person is using the money that is not venture capital business. That is, they use the money to trade can not afford to lose money in case of loss will affect your lifestyle and perhaps their ability to provide for his family. Using venture capital creates an enormous emotional pressure on you, even before entering the trade first. The less commercial risk of the easiest is to enter the trading mentality.
If you are dependent on the commercial capital is virtually impossible to be objective and think clearly, and when the trade should stay out of the individual routes. Clearly, if your life is at stake in each trade, each losing trade amplify the pressure and further distort their thinking. The probability that you will be deleted and much damage was worse.
Venture capital also prepares negotiating for many additional emotional traps that can sink the ship. Let’s review some.
An emotional trap is that when money trading you need to support yourself, you may be in a hurry to make money. You can not wait to hit home run and so you start working with less favorable odds. Soon, you could even begin to take the trade with the odds against him. You get attached to the offices, clinging to them, walk too long, because of the illusions. Worried about making their next mortgage payment will soon forget to keep realistic. If single, you will not be the only hope for a homer. You have forgotten the answer to a market one. If you try to force a home run, soon put out.
Another trap comes right in the venture capital trade is trade without a plan, the most common mistake committed by the loss of traders. Not having a plan creates a tremendous amount of uncertainty. This adds to the many emotional influences caused by bad decisions.
Trading without a trading plan without patterns of decision in place. Without knowing in advance what they will do after it starts trading. The plan is what allows you to minimize losses and make the winners. The trading plan also lets you know if you have entered a trade with a reasonable chance of profit.
Once entered a bull call spread on the euro, a small business, and
seemed sufficiently conservative. I did not bother to follow my usual practice of calculating the threshold of profitability and other important numbers
Before entering the trade. I did immediately afterwards, but that was a stupid mistake. As soon as I sat and not simple math, it was clear that the price should be in a narrow range on the due date for me to make a profit. All other scenarios result in a substantial loss, which is exactly what I have. $ 3,000 out the window.
The definition of the trade goes hand in hand with the planning of their trade. If you do not define a specific target and stoploss for each trade, which has limited outlets that benefit from your account and increased the chances that you’ll stay too long to wait for a price in return.
Finally, when the venture capital business, it is much more likely to trade more than necessary, both in size and frequency. Having the patience to enter the trade only when the right time is critical. If you feel the need to make more money, or to recover lost ground, it is tempting to enter more transactions take too big routes (ignoring the risk of mismanagement of the base), or just the normal trade too often. With the advent of online trading and markets 24 hours a day, some traders feel compelled to trade so much that life has completely unbalanced.
Remember, you are negotiating to have a life, not vice versa. And if you burn out physically or mentally, eventually take its toll on their commercial success.
So never use the money to trade that can not afford to lose. Too much of the trade risk is exercised enormous emotional pressures that affect your negotiations and ultimately your lifestyle. By making it difficult to be objective and think clearly because you make many mistakes, increasing the likelihood that you will be annihilated. And get an advantage is to minimize business risk and in the process likely to reach him.
