Fear of loss when trading

trader’s fear of loss is not only located in the here and now of his trading, but also in his history. And that history shaped how he sees the market, opportunity, risk, and reward. He adapted to avoid loss. This is his Adapted Voice reacting unconsciously (mindlessly) to the Prosecuting Attorney in his head. This trader can hear a voice in him saying, “Don’t you dare be foolish. Don’t risk your capital stupidly. Keep a tight lid on your losses – or you’ll be left homeless.” Out of fear of loss inherited from a previous generation, his internal dialog limits who he can be today as a trader. Tragic – the historical dialog he trades from was transparent to him. Now, it is not. He no longer mindlessly has to be held prisoner by this intergenerational conversation of possibilities.
