I have sat through enough losing streaks to know the feeling well. After a run of red I get tense, a bit low, and quietly angry at the loss itself.<\/p>\n

Separate the number from the story<\/h3>\n
\n

The number is simple. You are down some amount, and that is a fact you can read straight off the screen.<\/p>\n

The story is everything you pile on top. That you are washed, that it will keep going, that the market has it out for you. The number is real. The story is not, and it is the part that makes you trade worse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

You are down an amount. Everything you added to that sentence is a story you told yourself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
